The global economy is changing fast, making the ability to invent new ideas more important than ever. With artificial intelligence and robots taking over routine tasks, future workers must be able to solve unusual problems.
To see how well schools prepare students for this reality, the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment, or PISA, tested students aged 15 and 16 around the world. This unique evaluation looked at how kids invent, judge, and improve creative ideas, along with creative problem-solving, and granted points based on a 60-point scale.
