At the 5th meeting of the National Research Coordinators (NRC), the results of the field tests were evaluated and discussed digitally, in which a total of 68 countries participated with their scientific project management. That was an important date for the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) 2021. Despite the corona pandemic, it was possible to check the test instruments in the participating countries on a total of almost 13,000 pupils. The instruments were optimized on the basis of the field tests’ results and expanded to include the issue of the effects of COVID-19 on school life. The next steps now involve adapting the finalized, internationally provided test instruments for national use. The course has thus been set for the main survey taking place next year - we are very much looking forward to it.
