PISA doesn’t measure the education system of today, it measures how 15 year olds have been taught over roughly the last 10 years. Ireland scored very well in PISA 2022, but those students came through before the latest wave of NCCA / Dept of Ed reforms. The real verdict on this new curriculum will come when today’s primary pupils sit PISA in the mid 2030s. I predict (and fear) we will see a serious drop in outcomes as a result of reforms.
