According to Mr. Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training), Vietnam's goal when participating in PISA is to create honest, reliable, and quality index sets on the results of large-scale assessment of generaleducation .

At the same time, it demonstrates Vietnam's efforts in international integration, comparing and learning from experiences of advanced education systems in the world, thereby constantly improving and enhancing the quality of education in the country.

Of these, 30/36 schools had a 100% student participation rate; 6 schools had a participation rate of over 95%, ensuring the participation rate required by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

The Ministry of Education and Training said that in preparation for the PISA computer-based survey, participating schools sent managers and teachers to participate in training on PISA assessment; ensured information technology infrastructure; focused on developing students' thinking, problem-solving, reading comprehension, and scientific skills, core competencies assessed in the PISA exam...

PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) is an international student assessment program, initiated by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development on a global scale, every 3 years, assessing the capacity of 15-year-old students in 3 areas: reading comprehension, mathematics, and science.

Each term, one area is selected for further assessment, called a focus area, and is used as a basis for ranking the quality of education in countries. In 2018, it was reading comprehension.

The first cycle of PISA was assessed in 2000. Initially, PISA was designed to be assessed using paper-based tests. However, by 2018, most countries had switched to computer-based testing, with only 9 countries still taking paper-based tests, including Vietnam.
