International assessments are standardized tests that evaluate the knowledge and skills of students across different countries. These assessments help compare educational systems and identify areas for improvement. Examples include the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). These assessments typically focus on subjects like mathematics, science, and reading. They provide valuable data for policymakers, educators, and researchers to understand global education trends and develop strategies to enhance learning outcomes for students worldwide.
