New Pisa survey presented
After several years of falling earnings have now Swedish 15-year-olds skills to be improved, shows the new Pisa survey.
at the same time growing gaps between students from sociekonomiskt strengths and weakness of the home.
– 15 years ago, Sweden had a school system that was one of the most equal in the OECD. We are now on an average, says the report writer Anders Auer.
the department of Education today announced the good news that the Swedish students raise their performance in all subjects in Pisa.
– today, We have no ready-made answers on what the improvement depends. It becomes a task for us and the research community to analyze. At the same time, we know what contributes to a good school. It is about developing education, get more people to become teachers, and provide the right conditions to school. We still have a ways to go to toppresultaten in the PISA study, which was made in the year 2000, ” says Mikael Halápi in a press release.
The largest collection has been made in reading comprehension, from 483 to 500. Mathematics has both low – and high-performing students become better, which allows Sweden to increase from 478 to 494. In the natural sciences has the only high-performance improved and Sweden goes from 485 to 493.
Larger gap between the rich and the poor
But all is not positive in the report. Based on the results of the natural sciences is also a growing gap between students from socioekonomsikt weak, respectively, strong home. The report writer Anders Auer says that, compared with the 2006 survey, Sweden has deteriorated when it comes to equivalence.
– Five of the indicators show a deterioration. Not any one of the indicators shows improvement.
– 15 years ago, Sweden had a school system that was one of the most equal in the OECD. We are now on an average.
Michael Halápi says that the deterioration in the equivalence was noticed already in 2009.
– the Explanation for not responding Pisa. But we will go further with more in-depth studies on this.
Anders Auer also says that the students in Sweden with a domestic background perform better than students with a foreign background.
– The differences are higher in Sweden than in the OECD, ” he says.
in Contrast, has not increased immigration led to a large overall deterioration.
– The increasing proportion of pupils with a foreign background has led to a small negative effect on the outcome, but at the same time, this group’s earnings performance comparatively better than pupils with native background.
The students who came in the autumn flyktingsituation, however, has not participated in the survey.
Last result is a shock
three years ago hit the results of the Pisa survey down like a bomb in Sweden. No other OECD-country students had plummeted so greatly in knowledge in math, science and reading comprehension. Since then, all political parties lift a number of proposals for improvements on the school field.
Now it is time again, a new Pisa results, to be presented by the Agency’s management at 11 o’clock on Tuesday, and the teachers, students, parents, and politicians hold their breath.
72 countries have participated
a Total of 5 500 Swedish students, most in the ninth grade, participated in the major international kunskapsmätningen covering 536 000 15-year-olds from a total of 72 countries.
the Survey was conducted in the spring of 2015, and many now hope that a reversal will be discerned, when compared with the results from 2013. In the recently introduced Timss-measurement could be a trend reversal can be discerned where three out of four results for fourth – and eighth graders this year had improved.
– A arbetsseger for Sweden’s teachers, principals and students. There is hard work behind each score, said minister of education Gustav Fridolin (MP) when the Timss results were published in the last week.
Fridolin and Björklund comments
Fridolin will also give his view of the results in the Pisa-survey at a press conference at the government offices at 13. And also Jan Björklund, the Liberal leader and the one who was responsible for the skolpolitiken-up to the election in the autumn of 2014, is expected to comment on the investigation.
Björklund has previously stated that he believes that the skolreformer carried out by the alliance government during his time as minister of education, a new education act, new curricula and a change in the grading system, will produce results. If not now then in about a year.
