The PISA study is a cyclical
international project aimed at measuring the competency levels
of 15 year olds. Through the experience of putting this study
into action within a restricted geographical area (French speaking
Switzerland), rather impressive reactions to the first results
could be seen within the education community of French speaking
Switzerland. The value, the quality and the complexity of the
available information posses a certain number of questions about
the data’s interpretation, its distribution and its use.
Problems concerning the examination of the results at different
levels will also be looked at. The results were meant to be
used in an international comparison and not at the local level.
