PISA for Development capacity needs analysis: Ecuador

PISA for Development is an initiative of the OECD and development partners that aims
to identify how its Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) can best
support evidence-based policy making in emerging and developing economies –
and contribute to the UN-led definition of global learning goals for the post-2015 agenda.
In addition the project will help to build country capacity in assessment, analysis and
use of results for monitoring and improvement among participating countries. Ecuador is
one of six countries participating in the project, and the Ministry of Education, along with
the National Institute for Educational Evaluation (INEVAL), is responsible
for the project in the country. This report presents the results of an analysis of Ecuador
in respect of its capacity for managing large scale student assessments, such as PISA.
The results of this report are being used to design a capacity building plan for Ecuador
that will be implemented by the OECD, its contractors, the Ministry of Education,
and the National Institute for Educational Evaluation (INEVAL), through the PISA for
Development project.
