Prioritizing Students for the Programme for International Student Assessment

Special attention will be given to students who will be taking the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) next year in a bid to improve the Philippines’ performance, Education Secretary Sonny Angara said Tuesday.

Strategic Plans for PISA Readiness

During the deliberations of the Senate Committee on Finance on the proposed 2025 budget of the Department of Education (DepEd) and its attached agencies, Angara stated that they are now following the 2025 PISA Readiness Plan pursuant to President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr.'s directive.

  • Providing resources and nutrition for better performance.
  • Creating special classes to cater to PISA takers.
  • Utilizing computers to ensure familiarity with exam formats.

Angara noted that they aim to create an environment similar to a bar exam, ensuring that students do not experience a shock factor during the exam in March 2025.

Identifying Potential PISA Participants

So far, 1.6 million 15-year-old public school learners from Grades 7 to 10 have been identified as potential PISA candidates. By January 2025, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development will name over 150 public schools, and by February, 7,000 specific takers will be identified, Angara added.
