The Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) measures trends in mathematics and science achievement at the fourth and eighth grades (Years 5 and 9 in New Zealand) as well as monitoring curricular implementation and identifying the most effective instructional practices from around the world. TIMSS results are used to make evidence-based decisions for improving education policy and practice and monitor progress towards goals such as raising national student achievement and reducing inequity in New Zealand’s education system.

This is the eighth cycle of TIMSS. It will be conducted in late 2023 in Southern Hemisphere countries, including New Zealand, and in early 2023 in Northern Hemisphere countries. New Zealand is one of over 60 countries and benchmarking participants taking part in this cycle.
