PISA

Welcome to the Finnish PISA 2006 pages!

The results of PISA 2006 are now available on this site. Please click here to see the results

The material on these pages is a bit unusual. The reason for this is the interest that educators from around the world have shown towards Finland after the success of Finnish students in the PISA 2000 and PISA 2003 Surveys. The success has also been a hot topic in international media and in different seminars and conferences, either ex cathedra or in the corridors.

These pages will offer you four different approaches to questions concerning PISA and Finland. If you want to know more about PISA studies, choose OECD and PISA. If you want to know about the PISA 2000 or PISA 2003 results, choose FINLAND and PISA. If you are interested in possible interpretations for Finland’s success, choose FINNISH SCHOOL. By choosing FINLAND you will see whether any explanations can be traced to the Finnish culture. We hope that you may learn something new about our country through these pages.
