Abstract
PISA or the Programme for International Student Assessment of OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) is one of the most famous educational events of the last decades. Thousands of students from sixty-two different countries (the OECD countries plus country partners which signed a contract with this institution) have been recently involved in its tests for the 2009 PISA (the fourth report of this kind was presented in December 2010).
