The report Measuring Up: Canadian Results of the OECD PISA Study: The Performance of Canada's Youth in Science, Reading and Mathematics: 2006 First Results for Canadians Aged 15 (81-590-XIE2007001, free) will be available on our website on December 4. From the Publications module, choose Free Internet publications, then Education, training and learning, and finally Measuring Up: Canadian Results of the OECD PISA Study. Highlights from the report will be published in The Daily on December 5. This release strategy was taken in order to coordinate with the release of the international PISA report on December 4, while avoiding conflict with the scheduled Census release on the same day.
The Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) is a collaborative effort among member countries of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development. In Canada, PISA is administered through a partnership of the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada, Human Resources and Social Development Canada and Statistics Canada.
The report will also be available on the websites for the Program for International Student Assessment (www.pisa.gc.ca) and the Council of Ministers of Education, Canada (www.cmec.ca).
