COMPETENCES FOR THE FUTURE

The National Student Skills Survey “Competences for the Future” is an annual project successfully implemented since 2017 in Poland.

Since 2017, the Evidence Institute has been preparing and conducting nationwide research on the skills of primary (and previously lower secondary) school students.
We offer local governments, schools, parents, and students a modern tool to reliably examine and compare students’ skills. It is a research-based on the highest methodological research standards and long-term educational practice, using modern technologies.

The study covers three main areas:

ONLINE
TESTS

Online tests from subjects being later nationally examined for pupils in grade 8 of primary schools and online math tests for pupils in grades 5, 6 and 7

Pupils’ preferences and attitudes

The study analyzes students’ preferences and attitudes. Such analyses, together with test results from examination subjects, are a useful tool for schools, students, and their parents when choosing an educational path.

Analysis of personal strategy

Since 2019 we also offer an analysis of learning strategies. Applications offer assistance to teachers and students in developing effective ways of gaining knowledge.
