A growing number of countries are taking part in International Large-Scale Assessments (ILSAs). What are the political, economic, technical, and socio-cultural reasons that motivate them? What is the role of international organizations involved in their development and the private sector, which can lobby for ILSAs? Recognising the interests of a diverse set of actors involved with ILSAs is key to understanding their uses, costs and benefits, and how they may evolve.

Furthermore, many of those who are in school are failing to learn the basics, with as many as 6 in 10 children of primary and lower secondary age not achieving minimum proficiency levels in mathematics and reading. What will it take to remove all barriers and finally get all children and youth learning? What kinds of collaboration, innovation, and evidenced-based planning and policy-making can finally open the door to equal opportunity in education for all?
