Janison Education Group Limited (ASX: JAN) has been accredited as the 
Australian National Service Provider (NSP) by the Organisation for Economic 
Co-operation and Development (OECD) for the PISA for Schools assessment – the 
gold standard in the measurement of student learning, underpinned by PISA-based 
scales.

The OECD accredited the Sydney-headquartered edtech company with exclusive 
rights to manage the roll-out of PISA for Schools across Australia for the next 
two years. This will see Janison promote, deliver and support the event for 
participating schools in all states and territories. The full ASX announcement 
of the deal can be found here (

).

There are strong indications from a large number of government and independent 
schools across Australia wishing to participate between April and May this 
year. 

Janison's CEO David Caspari said: "The board and management of Janison are 
extremely honoured to be partnering with the OECD in the roll-out of such an 
incredibly well-regarded assessment and benchmarking tool – the only test of 
its kind in the world. For us, this is our mission – to be a global force for 
good by powering best-in-class educational assessments with passion and 
purpose."

PISA for Schools is powered by the Janison online assessment platform( 
https://www.janison.com/online-assessment/online-assessment-platform/ ) which 
offers educators an enhanced dashboard and streamlined reporting alongside a 
suite of practical features enabling schools to explore their own data. 

Janison has been in an exclusive partnership agreement with the OECD since 2019 
to provide the digital solution for PISA for Schools globally. Already 220,000 
students across seven countries have undertaken the test using Janison's 
platform, including the US, Russia, Japan, Brazil and Thailand.

PISA for Schools tests 15-year-olds with a cognitive test in reading, 
mathematics and science. An additional questionnaire asks about a student's 
home and school situation, learning environment, and confidence and motivation. 
For further information on the test visit the Janison website here(

Each school receives a confidential report which analyses their students' 
learning outcomes and socio-emotional situation, and benchmarks them against 
other schools nationally, internationally and against OECD averages. 

Educators are reporting that this provides an opportunity for schools to 
benefit from gold-standard PISA data to drive improvement, set strategic goals, 
and address the gap between the least and most advantaged.
