Belgische, Finse en Vietnamese recepten voor PISA - 18 september in Brussel
05/09/2014

Surprising results in the 2012 edition of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA): Vietnam performs stunningly well in literacy and numeracy skills. Better than some wealthier countries.

Is wealth no longer determining pupils’ learning outcomes? Why have Finnish scores dropped in the international educational ranking? Does PISA lead to teaching to the test? And what about soft skills currently not tested by PISA?

Discover all the answers to these questions on Thursday 18th of September 2014, when the Liaison Agency Flanders-Europe (vleva) and the Flemish Association for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance (VVOB) offer you the taste of Belgian, Finnish and Vietnamese recipes for PISA, together with Dr. Caine Rolleston (University of London), Prof. Roger Standaert (University of Ghent, Belgium), Dr. Vladimir Garkov (European Commission, DG EAC) and Prof. Jouni Välijärvi (University of Jyväskylä, Finland).

This mini conference will be held in English at vleva, Kortenberglaan 71 in Brussels, from 10h to 13h. It is free of charge but Registration is required.
