    Why OECD Work on Education Matters

    The OECD's work on education helps improve educational quality and accessibility on a global scale. The Organization conducts research, collects data, and allows countries to benchmark their performance and learn from one another. As the flagship Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) can trigger national education policy reform, dialogue between governments and business at the OECD is instrumental to ensure that recommendations for education policies reflect labor market realities and foster a capable and adaptable workforce.

    How Business Engages with the OECD on Education Policy

    Our Education Committee is the private sector focal point for OECD work on education policy. Based on our members’ interest and expertise, we bring together the experience and perspectives of employers to support and help shape the OECD’s world-renowned surveys, analyses, and recommendations in the area of education and skills. Our Education Committee meets bi–annually, participates to OECD thematic sessions and Ministerial level meetings, and organizes policy events in partnership with the OECD.
