The OECD’s PISA High Performing Systems for Tomorrow project aims to support policy dialogue both by drawing on the PISA evidence base and offering a conceptual framework that enables countries to reorient their education systems toward new purposes, policies and practices.
At the heart of the project stands a set of major questions. In the 21st century, what does it mean for humans to flourish? How should education support human flourishing, at every stage of life? How should education systems be designed to promote human flourishing for all? What learning goals and competencies should people strive for? What learning environments would best support them? How should the teaching profession evolve to facilitate their learning? What metrics would enable measurement and benchmarking at system and student level?
The PISA High Performing Systems for Tomorrow framework: Education for Human Flourishing, will be constructed around detailed responses to these questions. It will link to other OECD initiatives and draw on the perspectives of policy makers, learners, practitioners, researchers, parents and employers. By mobilising their engagement and support, the project will offer space and tools to discuss the realisation of education for human flourishing, in national and local settings.
