The PISA 2025 Science framework defines ‘scientific literacy’ as being able to explain phenomena scientifically, and construct and evaluate designs for scientific enquiry and interpret scientific data and evidence critically.

Mathematical literacy is an individual’s capacity to reason mathematically and to formulate, employ, and interpret mathematics to solve problems in a variety of real-world contexts.

Since PISA 2012, every cycle includes an innovative domain which assess students on target interdisciplinary and 21st century competencies.

Reading literacy is understanding, using, evaluating, reflecting on and engaging with texts in order to achieve one’s goals, to develop one’s knowledge and potential, and to participate in society.
