The target population for PIRLS is students in Grade 4, and the mean age at the time of testing is at least 9.5 years. This study is carried out under the sponsorship of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), in which 57 countries have participated in 2021 cycle (MOEHE, PIRLS Assessment 2021)
