Forthcoming Events1st December 2011, University of WarwickEvent: Research Seminar Speaker: Paul Andrews (University of Cambridge) Title: Challenging the myth of PISA achievement as the basis for warranted policy borrowing Abstract: It seems that over the last few years PISA and its repeats have acquired the status of benchmark for an educational system's effectiveness. So pervasive has this become that over the last decade more than one hundred envoys have visited Finland to examine how that country has achieved repeated PISA success. In this talk I propose to examine, through the exploitation of documentary and video evidence, the extent to which PISA success can be construed as an indicator of systemic educational quality. The implications of the analysis for policy borrowing will also be discussed. Time: 5.00pm Location: WT0.05, Westwood Teaching Building, Westwood Campus, University of Warwick. Details of how to get to Warwick are available here. The Westwood Teaching Building is number 58 on this map. Contact: Jenni Ingram [email] |
