National and International Assessments

Nova Scotia's participation in national and international assessments provides information about how our education system performs in relation to education systems nationally and internationally. Each national and international assessment provides performance data, in depth analysis, and contextual reports that allow us to gather information about factors that affect educational outcomes in a provincial, national, and international context.
