OECD's Education and Skills Directorate: Fostering Global Prosperity through Knowledge and Innovation

Sure, I'd be happy to provide a more polished version of the text. Here's an edited version:

The OECD’s Education and Skills Directorate helps nations identify and develop knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values necessary for better jobs and improved lives. We strive to generate prosperity while promoting social inclusion through our analysis and advice on education systems.

Leadership:

Andreas Schleicher serves as Director of the Education and Skills Directorate, overseeing a team dedicated to improving educational outcomes worldwide.

Yuri Belfali is Head of the Early Childhood and Schools Division, ensuring quality early childhood education and effective schooling practices.

Paulo Santiago heads up the Policy Advice and Implementation Division, guiding reforms that lead to practical improvements in policy implementation.

Tia Loukkola oversees the Innovation and Measuring Progress Division, fostering forward-thinking approaches while benchmarking progress globally.

How We Work:

The work of our Directorate is guided by several bodies:

• Education Policy Committee: Provides strategic oversight on all matters.

• Centre for Educational Research Innovation Governing Board CERI: Focuses on comparative research and innovation in education.

• Programme for International Student Assessment Governing Board PISA: Measures student performance worldwide.

• Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies Governing Board: Evaluates adult skill levels across countries.

Surveys and Tools:

We use surveys like:

• The International Early Learning Child Well-being Study to understand child development and well-being.

• The OECD Survey on Social and Emotional Skills, which explores conditions that foster or impede social-emotional learning among young people.

• The PISA Assessment, measuring students’ skills in reading, math, science, and more globally.

• The Survey of Adult Skills evaluates proficiency levels in literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and digital skills.

In addition to these surveys, we also provide a range of policy papers and working documents on pressing issues like financial literacy for students or equity gaps across gers.

We offer reports such as:

• Education at a Glance, providing an overview of education systems worldwide.

• Detled analyses like Curriculum Flexibility and Autonomy.

Publications:

Our publications include in-depth reports, policy briefs that focus on specific issues, webinars for educators, blogs offering insights into educational trs and challenges, podcasts discussing future directions in education.

We're committed to sharing knowledge through:

1. Customized Data Profiling: Tools allowing users to compare data across countries based on various parameters.

2. Social Media Engagement: Presence on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram for direct communication with stakeholders and policymakers.
