Dr. Shamsiah Zuraini Kanchanawati Tajuddin, the Permanent Secretary for Core Education at Brunei's Ministry of Education, attended the 61st Meeting of the Programme for International Student Assessment Governing Board (PISA-PGB) held in Brasilia, Brazil from April 8 to 10. The agenda included a presentation on the latest developments for the PISA 2025 analysis and plans for the report's launch in September. Over 100 participants from OECD member countries and partner economies attended the biannual meeting organized by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Key discussions revolved around the assessment frameworks for PISA 2029, innovative projects involving artificial intelligence in assessments, and the correlation between PISA and the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC). The meeting also covered the latest developments in PISA-VET, which focuses on vocational education and training assessments. Administrative matters, including budget allocations and the extension of PISA's mandate, were also addressed. The meeting was officiated by Kátia Helena Serafina Cruz Schweickardt, representing Brazil's Minister of Education, who emphasized the importance of using assessment findings to enhance pedagogical strategies rather than merely focusing on rankings.
