Testing for the money
Introduction International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSAs) are widely utilized to benchmark to evaluate the quality of education systems globally. Since 2000, the number of participating countries in these assessments has increased dramatically, revealing the dominance of a few education systems while exposing the deficiencies of many others. Especially for the latter group the question, as to why they participate in ILSAs, is puzzling. Existing …
Tackling the Digital Divide? A Comparative Policy Analysis of International Organizations’ Varying Approaches to the Digitalization of Education
This paper explores how international organizations (IOs) identify similar problems while endorsing different strategies. It examines how IOs address a fair and accessible digital education environment that reduces the digital divide. Using mixed methods, the article analyzes documents from 22 IOs. The quantitative analysis reveals the diverse concepts associated with digitalization. A qualitative content analysis delves into the strategies emplo…
Instruments of lesson-drawing
This study examines the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank, the two largest global actors in the education sector, in their capacity as knowledge brokers. For these actors, positioning themselves between research and policy and circulating their versions of evidence has become a popular governance instrument to amplify their impact at the national level. To compare the strategies and targets of the OEC…
Globalization, Education and

This observation also applies to education policy: not only the form, but also the function of state‐led schooling have become increasingly similar. This phenomenon has led to a spread of western rationality, and education has become oriented toward the labor market. The competition for experts and labor between countries facilitated by this g…
More than meets the eye
Over the last 20 years, since the launch of its flagship study the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has become a behemoth of transnational influence on education policy making. To better understand the evolution of the OECD’s perspective on education and the importance of PISA within the OECD’s overall publications, I analysed over 900 OECD publications on edu…
Placing Pisa in perspective
The OECD has become a major driver of domestic education reforms, especially since the establishment of PISA. However, we know very little about the contextualisation of PISA within the publication output of the OECD, and what ideas of education the IO is spreading. In this article, we explore the entire thematic portfolio of the OECD's education publications and show that it goes far beyond PISA. Utilising a mixed-methods approach, we examine wh…
