The Better Education Company was founded in 2019 by the educators behind the acclaimed network of BASIS Charter Schools.

Together,this partnership will serve to promote and provide the OECD Test for Schools (a test that provides a benchmark calibrated to the PISA scale) exclusively in the United States.

"The PISA program,and the related OECD Test for Schools,is known as the premier assessment tool to measure educational outcomes and student satisfaction across the world," said Matthew New,the CEO of The Better Education Company. "We want to greatly expand usage of this test in the United States,as part of our effort to improve American education,and Janison is the ideal partner for this effort."

In 2019,Janison signed a cooperation agreement with the OECD to develop the international digital platform for this unique school assessment tool based on PISA,and to deliver it in a secure,scalable,robust environment to schools in the U.S.

"We are very pleased to be partnering with The Better Education Company to promote the OECD Test for Schools in the United States," said Wayne Houlden,Founder of Janison. "Together,we aim to build a collaborative data sharing community around this effort in the hopes of improving educational outcomes."

The Better Education Company brings decades of the same success that 27 BASIS Charter Schools have brought and continue to bring to American students,and the identical ability to:

Enable schools and networks to capture data to answer difficult questions

Oversee the data itself,and format it to facilitate deep analysis

Facilitate statistical and quantitative analysis which identifies patterns,trends,and correlations

Provide actionable insights in a consumable format,and deliver action plans to improve student outcomes.
