Speaking about the international assessment studies, the minister said that participation in these studies makes us members of the global education system and also gives us the opportunity to exchange ideas with colleagues from different countries.

 

Emin Amrullayev noted that over the past few years, the PISA international assessment study has been identified as one of the main goals of education development in the country. According to the minister, PISA gives us not only figures but also quite serious science and evidence.
