School performance surveys in Liechtenstein

Check your knowledge ("Checks")

Liechtenstein will introduce the performance surveys "Check dein Wissen", called "Checks", at public schools from the school year 2022/23.

The checks will lead to accurate feedback on students' performance. They serve as a way for teachers to determine where they stand and offer them an opportunity to reflect on their own teaching. Furthermore, they can be used as a basis for planning support measures. The results generally provide an insight into the quality of the Liechtenstein education system and are included in the national education report, which is published every four years. The checks are not graded, are not included in the school reports and are not used for transfer decisions

Past School Performance Surveys

Results in the international school performance comparison PISA since 2000 have shown that a relatively high proportion of young people at the end of compulsory education do not have the competencies in reading and mathematics that are necessary for a smooth transition into the labor market. This disturbing finding was one of the motivations that led to the demand for transparency about students' competencies in the future.

Since 2010, standard exams have been administered annually in mathematics, German and English.

In 2016, a comprehensive scientific report on school performance surveys in Liechtenstein was published:

The results of the standard tests will be used as a starting point for further development of school quality.
