PISA 2012 Results: What Makes Schools Successful (Volume IV) Resources, Policies and Practices

Published by U.S. Department of State | Department of State | Metadata Last Checked: July 29, 2025 | Last Modified: 2013-12-03
This fourth volume of PISA 2012 results examines how student performance is associated with various characteristics of individual schools and of concerned school systems. It discusses how 15-year old students are selected and grouped into different schools, programmes, and education levels, and how human, financial, educational and time resources are allocated to different schools. The volume also examines how school systems balance autonomy with collaboration, and how the learning environment in school shapes student performance. Trends in these variables between 2003 and 2012 are examined when comparable data are available, and case studies, examining the policy reforms adopted by countries that have improved in PISA, are presented throughout the volume.
