Towards PISA 2033

Making movement a cornerstone of education worldwide.

PE4PISA unites experts across the globe to establish Physical Education as a recognised and measured core indicator of international education systems.

The MissionOur goal for 2033

To ensure that, by the 2033 PISA, education systems worldwide recognise and measure movement as a cornerstone of well-being, equity, and sustainable living.

AboutWhat we do

PE4PISA unites experts from across the globe to co-design and implement evidence-based standards that will establish Physical Education as a core indicator of international education systems by 2033. In parallel, PE4PISA advocates for the formal recognition of PE within the OECD PISA assessment.
