Special focus will be given to how student achievement and equity change over time in the Nordic countries and on the role of teaching quality and assessment practices. The presenters will also turn their attention toward the role of opportunities to learn in relation to student achievement and in promoting educational equity. The presentations draw on data from TIMSS from 2011, 2015, and 2019.
