Essential Adult Skills Initiative (EASI)
The Essential Adult Skills Initiative (EASI) is a pilot project using the OECD’s newest version of the PIAAC assessment instrument, Education and Skills Online. The pilot is designed
(a) to explore the practical challenges of administering the test to substantial numbers of PSE students and
(b) to establish the utility of Education and Skills Online to assess PSE student skills.
