Both projects are completing the transition to fully computer-based assessments in TIMSS 2023 and PIRLS 2026 administrations.
TIMSS and PIRLS are sponsored by the IEA (International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement), an independent international cooperative of national research institutes and governmental research agencies headquartered in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
