PISA assesses the knowledge and skills of students aged fifteen and is carried out on a 3-year cycle, with each cycle assessing reading, mathematics and science and focusing mainly on one of these three areas. The ‘major domain’ of PISA 2009 is reading. The PISA publication was released at 10am on 7 December to coincide with the wider release of information across Europe and elsewhere. The Department normally releases official statistics at 9.30am.
