PISA Global Competence survey

The global competence assessment is part of the PISA student assessment and is composed of two parts: a cognitive assessment and a background questionnaire.
In the background questionnaire, students will be asked to report how familiar they are with global issues; how developed their linguistic and communication skills are; to what extent they hold certain attitudes, such as respect for people from different cultural backgrounds; and what opportunities they have at school to develop global competence.
