The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation was presented by the deputy Minister Igor Remorenko and two top officers from the Department of the state policy in the sphere of general education. We had also the representatives from the Parliament, the World Bank, two large Publishing Houses (for textbook production).

This conference gave to the participants the opportunity not only to present the Russian TIMSS/PIRLS results and discuss our own problems, but to get acquainted with the richness of the current IEA studies (Anne-Berit Kavli), strong technical standards for IEA studies (Pierre Foy),  some approaches used in the national reports (Fumi Ginshima) and raising efficiency of the use of TIMSS/PIRLS data for managing the quality of education (Paulina Korsnakova). The results of secondary analysis of TIMSS data and significance of participation in different populations and cycles were remarkably presented by Torgeir Onstad.

The conference participants learned how important IEA studies for the different countries from the presentations of the national reaserch coordinators of TIMSS/PIRLS (Arsen Baghdasaryan/Armenia,  Gabriela Noveanu/Romania, Fumi Ginshima/Japan,  Nada AbuBaker Husain Ruban/UAE, Renan Rapalo Castellanos/Gonduras). They told how the IEA methodology and data were used for the national assessment.
