It is to be part of an ongoing OECD program of reporting¤on indicators in education. The student population chosen for PISA is students aged 15 years. The learning domains of reading, mathematical and scientific literacy, together with¤some other areas such as students' familiarity with computers, learning strategies¤students use, and students' attitudes towards their schools, have been chosen to be the foci of PISA. The summary of the Irish results is presented on 32 pages, in pdf.format.
