Abstract
The two recent (2003) international surveys of pupils’ attainments were uncoordinated, overlapped considerably, were costly and wasteful, especially from the point of view of England where inadequate response‐rates meant that no reliable comparisons at all could be made with other countries. The surveys were conducted by the OECD (Programme of International Student Assessment—PISA) and by the US‐based International Educational Assessment group (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study—TIMSS). Sources of the problem are investigated.
