The 54th PISA Board meeting kicked off in Baku on November 2.

More than 70 experts from 46 countries are currently visiting Baku in connection with the PISA Board meeting. For the first time since the pandemic, a total of more than 150 delegates are attending the event in hybrid form.

Speaking at the opening plenary session of the meeting, Minister of Science and Education Emin Amrullayev stressed that he was pleased that this high-level event was held in Azerbaijan for the first time in the South Caucasus and Central Asia region.

Speaking about the results achieved by Azerbaijani students in international assessment studies, Emin Amrullayev noted that the State Strategy for Education Development also identified PISA results as the main quality standard.

Noting that the event was a fairly new experience for the educational community in our country, the Minister of Science and Education informed the participants that the conference, which will be held on Saturday in association with the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) on evaluation with the participation of experts from different countries, was of great importance.

Emin Amrullayev ended his speech by wishing the participants success.

The meeting then continued with the sessions.

The event will run until November 4.
