This report uses recent economic modelling to relate
cognitive skills – as measured by PISA and other international instruments – to
economic growth, demonstrating that relatively small improvements to labor
force skills can largely impact the future well-being of a nation. The report
also shows that it is the quality of learning outcomes, not the length of
schooling, which makes the difference. A modest goal of all OECD countries
boosting their average PISA scores by 25 points over the next 20 years would
increase OECD gross domestic product by USD 115 trillion over the lifetime of
the generation born in 2010. More aggressive goals could result in gains in the
order of USD 260 trillion.
