The Program for International Student Assessments (PISA) is an international assessment of 15-year-olds, which
focuses on assessing students’ reading, mathematics, and science literacy. PISA was first administered in 2000 and is
typically conducted every three years. The United States has participated in all of the previous cycles and planned to
participate in 2021 in order to track trends and to compare the performance of U.S. students with that of students in
other education systems. PISA is sponsored by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD). In the United States, PISA is conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), within the
U.S. Department of Education. In each administration of PISA, one of the subject areas (reading, mathematics, or
science literacy) is the major domain and has the broadest content coverage, while the other two subjects are the
minor domains. PISA emphasizes functional skills that students have acquired as they near the end of mandatory
schooling (aged 15 years), and students’ knowledge and skills gained both in and out of school environments. The
next administration of PISA will focus on mathematics literacy as the major domain. Reading and science literacy will
also be assessed as minor domains, with additional assessment of financial literacy. In addition to the cognitive
assessments described above, PISA 2022 will include questionnaires administered to school principals and assessed
students. To prepare for the main study, PISA countries will conduct a field test in the spring of the year previous,
primarily to evaluate newly developed assessment and questionnaire items but also to test the assessment
operations. The request to conduct PISA 2021 main study recruitment and field test was approved in December 2019
(OMB# 1850-0755 v.23-24); an additional package approved in April 2021 (OMB# 1850-0755 v.25) updated the
package to delay the field test that was previously scheduled for 2020 to 2021 and the main study data collection to
2022 and update a range of the study materials. This submission updates the main study recruitment materials
(Appendix A-2) and updates the burden estimates based on an adjusted main study school sample size and
assumptions about the rate of ineligible and out-of-scope schools agreed with the international sampling contractors.
