Agreement reached among participants regarding the main technical challenges to be addressed and the most technically sound and viable options for addressing these, in the context of the PISA for Development project:
Identify constructs and indices that are likely to be less operable in developing country contexts, as well as options for the expansion and equating of these with current PISA indices and scales.

The main focus will be on adapting items that currently form part of the PISA indices and scales to ensure maximum international comparability
