Studies

The ILSA Gateway is your source for information on ILSAs—international large-scale assessments in education. The acronym has become the umbrella term for comprehensive, transnational educational studies, regardless of whether they include a cognitive assessment component. More information about our selection criteria for inclusion of a study on the ILSA gateway can be found here.

Selecting an ILSA from the list below will guide you to its fact sheet, where you will find an overview as well as access to further information, for example, about the study framework or design.

Gateway pages for recent study cycles will be completed and new studies added as the respective documents and materials are published and become available.
