Abstract

International Large-scale Assessments (ILSAs) have become the quality checklist for education systems globally, especially since the adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015. ILSAs not only claim to measure the quality of education systems but also compare them against one another. With the increasing complexity of adult education systems, information provided by ILSAs may influence stakeholders and influence the flow of resources. This article elaborates on the question: How have ILSAs shaped adult education systems globally? The methodology includes a comparison of four ILSAs and an analysis of their linkages with the Global Alliance to Monitor Learning (GAML), SDGs and global policy changes in the adult education systems based on the method of document analysis. The article views the changes in adult education systems as a part of global policy shift led by the OECD where ILSAs have been some of the effective catalysts.
