The IEA's TIMSS & PIRLS International Study Center at Boston College conducts large-scale assessments of mathematics, science, and reading achievement to help countries evaluate and improve their educational systems in a global context. Based in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, the center supports evidence-based decision making for educational policy and curriculum reform by identifying gaps in learning resources and opportunities exposed through TIMSS and PIRLS studies. As part of IEA’s long-standing network of international achievement studies, the center operates within Boston College’s Lynch School of Education and Human Development to facilitate data processing and research that contextualizes national performance within international benchmarks. Its work is positioned to serve national education authorities and policymakers seeking systematic insights into student learning and instructional effectiveness. The center is part of a broader, multination, research-oriented framework and has a focus on international comparative education research dating back to IEA’s early studies.
