Abstract: Canadian educators can draw key lessons on how to improve student performance from the most recent Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) report, according to a new C.D. Howe Institute publication. In “What Policies Work? Addressing the Concerns Raised by Canada’s PISA Results,” author John Richards addresses six widely discussed education policies that may reverse Canada’s falling PISA scores. Relying on the exhaustive background research undertaken by PISA, he concludes that four of the policies may work; two probably won’t.
