PISA Messages

Welcome to Jamaica’s official website for the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). The Ministry, and by extension Jamaica, is pleased to participate in the 2021 cycle of PISA. We are positive that our participation in such an esteemed programme will equip policy makers in this country to garner useful and relevant information to shape the way forward for our education system.

It is indeed true that anything is possible with PISA, as several countries have been able to use the data they obtained from their participation to effect the necessary change for education reform. We have no doubt that our students, parents, teachers and all administrators will partner with us and use this website as a tool to access relevant information. Thank you for visiting the website, best wishes and God bless you all.
