National and International Surveys
About National and International Surveys
The National and International Surveys program undertakes research based on sample-based national and international surveys. Over a number of years ACER, especially through the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), has developed considerable expertise in this area. The National and International Surveys program maintains and develops ACER’s expertise in sampling, survey management, analysis of survey data and the interpretation and reporting of results.
Project activities include the coordination of international studies for IEA and OECD; the management of Australian participation in international surveys; and the management of national sample surveys for the Performance Measurement & Reporting Taskforce. Particular emphasis is placed on building programs of research and publication relating to these studies.
