Overview
With the release of the latest OECD PISA 2022 results on December 5, 2023 (Paris time), a symposium on the future of education will be held in Japan, with a focus on Asia, to contribute to the formulation of education policies based on evidence from PISA.
Objectives
The purpose of the symposium is to present the latest PISA 2022 results and analysis, with a focus on Asian countries, and to discuss future education issues among educators in Japan and Asia based on the latest trends in student learning and well-being as revealed by the evidence.
In particular, PISA 2022 included a detailed survey of mathematical literacy. Also, that in Asia, student well-being (WB) has long been low compared to academic achievement. Moreover, WB has been included in the goals of education in the OECD's Learning Compass, and the importance of WB was emphasized at the G7 Education Ministers' Meeting held in Japan in May 2023, and so on. In light of these facts, we will hold discussions that will delve deeper into the following topics: "Student Learning for the Next Generation" and "Student Well-Being - How to Support Agencies?"
