The Department of Education's Institute of Educational Sciences is proposing changes to the current information collection related to the Program for International Student Assessment 2022 (PISA 2022). This involves gathering public comments as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. PISA is a worldwide test that measures the reading, math, and science skills of 15-year-olds, and this collection will help the U.S. compare its students' performances with those from other countries. The changes address pandemic-related delays and adjustments, such as moving the field test from 2020 to 2021 and the main study to 2022, updating materials, and adding COVID-19 protocols.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Education is planning to change how they collect information for a special test called PISA, which checks how good 15-year-olds are at reading, math, and science compared to kids in other countries. They want to hear what people think about these changes because they had to move the test dates and add new rules because of COVID-19.
