International participation • Unquestionable entrance: “We joined the OECD at the right time, because we could enter the PISA program right away.” (BPC representative) • Passive or active? “I did not exhibit myself on the board meetings”(BPC representative) • Symbolic aspect “It is obvious that Hungary does not count as a faceless country. We stood out from the crowd from the very beginning.”(CERI member)

  8. PISA criticism is an urban legend.... • Only a few moments of resistence: „two big public policy ideology, lifelong learning and competency…these were used by politicians and professionals are their suppliers”(an ed scientist) “the PISA panic is the typical attempt of educational policymakers to generate sentiments after the bad position achieved in the race of nations”(an ed scientist) “some prestigious surveys that are hard to apply to Hungarian conditions showed that the quality of public education is on the decline” (right wing daily) • IEA(PIRLS) vs OECD PISA
