Evaluating digital content, understanding media and AI systems, and engaging with them critically and responsibly.
ROADMAP IN THE SUPPLIED POSTER
Three stages of preparation
Preparation
National decisions, financing, adaptation and translation of instruments, questionnaires and manuals.
Field trial
Test procedures and instruments, prepare schools for computer-based assessment and train national teams.
Main study
A representative sample of schools across regions and randomly selected eligible 15-year-old students.
What makes progress comparable?
A national sample would broaden the picture beyond the capital. To measure change against 2025, a comparable Dushanbe sub-sample and compatible assessment methods are needed. A future national mean cannot simply be compared with a previous city mean.
Baseline participation counts differ across supplied posters and the OECD country note. The Results page documents those differences and distinguishes population coverage from participation. View source notes
