Abstrakt
Between these covers you will find summaries of the seven thematic reports published
in Estonian on the PIAAC (Programme for the International Assessment of Adult
Competencies) study. The reports were completed as part of the PIAAC Estonia programme
in 2014 and 2015. This publication is a précis of the two years of analysis conducted after
the study, which was carried out in the country for the first time and whose main focus was
key themes in education and the labour market – areas of importance to Estonia. The full
versions of the reports, as well as the initial results of the study published in 2013 in the
report ‘Adult skills in Estonia and the world: Initial results of the PIAAC study’, are available
on the website of the Ministry of Education and Research (MER). Details of completed
international reports and those in progress can be found on the websites of both the OECD
and the Nordic Council of Ministers – the latter of which has also published the Nordic
PIAAC report, which analysed the results of five countries, including Estonia1 . In addition,
short reports, scientific articles and a number of graduation theses have been published on
the basis of PIAAC data (the reports being available on the website of the MER). The data
can be downloaded from the OECD website for further analysis.
