The OECD has developed the new tool based on its Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) to help individual schools benchmark their students.
The tool, intended for assessing 15-year old youngsters, will give teachers a more complete picture of student performance and attitudes than normal tests allow so that they can work out the best way to improve results.
Europe compares badly with Asia and other world regions when it comes to the number of science and maths graduates, leading to a looming shortage of skilled engineers in the future.
Les écoles en Europe seront en mesure de comparer les compétences de leurs élèves en lecture, en mathématique et en sciences aux meilleurs systèmes d’enseignement au monde. Elles pourront utiliser un instrument géré par l'Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques (OCDE).
