In a range of international studies, Danish pupils from different year groups are regularly compared with pupils of the same age from the rest of the world in many different areas.
The Danish School of Education is the Danish partner in the international comparative studies of educational and training systems which are carried out under the auspices of organisations such as the OECD and the IEA (the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement).
IEA (The International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement) is an international association consisting of universities and other independent research institutions from more than 50 countries. The Danish School of Education at Aarhus University is the Danish member of this association. IEA projects are approved at annual general meetings at which representatives from the Danish School of Education represent Danish educational research.
