National and International Surveys

The large scale survey research ACER conducts draws on staff expertise in sampling, survey management, the analysis of survey data and the interpretation and reporting of results. Current work includes the management of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), work for the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and the management of national sample surveys for the Taskforce on Performance Measurement and Reporting.
