Abstract:
Education systems in the world are diverse. This diversity is due to different historical developments and various economic, social and political conditions in the individual countries. Nowadays countries often get inspiration from comparison with foreign countries in finding solutions to various problems in school education. Frequently, international comparative studies on educational systems are emerging which aim not only at comparing the learning outcomes of pupils in individual countries but also to describe some features of the functioning of educational systems. The aim of this paper is to analyse the impact of educational system indicators on the results of PISA 2015 and PIRLS 2016 research in the European OECD countries. For this purpose, we use correlation and regression analysis. However, the diversity of education systems makes this comparative analysis difficult and it is necessary to take into account the specifics of the education systems in each country.
