They remind us that true progress and prosperity can only be realized through quality education, "and PISA is a definite indicator that it is high time that education in Bosnia and Herzegovina be raised to the world level." BHAAAS also reminds us that thorough educational changes initiated by PISA results have led to positive changes in countries such as Wales, Finland, Estonia, Poland, and Slovenia. "Now is the time for us to use PISA as a guide and interpret it in a positive way as a guide for urgent reform," says BHAAAS. Despite the low ranking in which Bosnia and Herzegovina is ranked only 62 out of 79 countries, the very fact that 6,480 students from 213 schools, from the 7th grade of elementary school to the first high school, were tested—is a transparent shift in understanding the real situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. schooling and education system.

"We hope that this effort will not be in vain and that it will result in the mobilization of all resources in the creation of a common and unified educational vision at this crucial moment for the future of Bosnia and Herzegovina," says the statement from this Bosnian-American institution. They add that the members of the Academy, as a group of people who are familiar with modern education systems, "hope to continue cooperation with the educational institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina to jointly realize this vision." (https://www.radiosarajevo.ba/)
