Hong Kong Students’ Performance in Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2025 Press Conference

The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), coordinated by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), is an international assessment that measures 15-year-old students’ science, reading, and mathematics literacy. It assesses how well students can apply their knowledge and skills to real-life challenges, make sound judgements, and fully participate in the knowledge society. Apart from assessing students’ literacy in these three domains, PISA 2025 also assesses their competence to learn in the digital world.
