From September 28 to October 2, Tbilisi hosted one of the most significant events in global education — the 65th General Assembly of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA). Representatives from the education systems of 55 countries, along with experts, participated in the assembly. Over several days, participants discussed ongoing international educational research, major challenges, and trends in the field, including the perspectives and current experiences of using artificial intelligence.
The 65th General Assembly was hosted by the National Center for Educational Research (NCER). The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) is one of the most authoritative global educational organizations. Its network includes over 60 countries, and more than 100 countries participate in IEA-coordinated international educational studies (e.g., PIRLS, TIMSS, PIRLS, TEDS, ICCS, ICILS).
The IEA General Assembly is a prominent event in education, attended annually by leading experts and policymakers whose work focuses on advancing education. The National Center for Educational Research, already actively engaged in international and national educational assessment studies will further expand its responsibilities in 2024 by leading global educational research efforts in the country.
