Pilot Phase

Moving towards an international large scale assessment of VET

Subject to the agreement of the OECD’s education committees and following the successful completion of the Development Phase and the recruitment of a minimum number of countries that can commit resources to undertake further instrument development and data collection, the Pilot Phase would be launched in the first quarter of 2025. This Pilot Phase would include the further development and validation of the assessment instruments trialled during the Development Phase, the implementation of the data collection in participating countries, the analysis of the data and the preparation of an international report.

An operational document produced at the end of the Development Phase will describe the Pilot Phase of the initiative, including: any further instrument development that may be required; target population and sample design; details of survey operations and implementation arrangements; outputs expected from the study; data analysis and reporting plan; and the costs involved.
