The province is participating in an international student assessment to determine how our achievements in reading, math and science compare to the rest of Canada–and about 30 other countries. School District 6 spokesperson, Gary Hall says a random sample of 15 year old students will be selected over the next few weeks for the Program of International Student Achievement. The assessment is administered every three years and several New Brunswick teens will take part this April and May.
Hall says one teacher from each high school will be responsible to help students and teachers prepare for the PISA test.
