The overall goal and objectives of PISA are to offer support and expertise in the field of the evaluation of educational development factors in Albania. One of the methods successfully used for monitoring the achieved progress during the given study period was the estimation and comparison of results with the results of previous PISA participations. A broader comparison of these statistics with those of other PISA participants in the Albanian region provides a real picture of the situation, showing the progress Albania has made and indicating how effective Albania’s educational policies are.  \nKeywords: Gender differences, Learning outcomes, Main domain in PISA, PISA assessments, Student performance, The socioeconomic environment,  \nIntroduction  \nSince 1990, changes and reforms have been implemented in the Albanian education system. One important reform was a new evaluation system for primary school and high school through national exams. Such exams are standardised and are performed all over the country at the end of primary and high school education. As the most important international assessment institution, PISA assessment participation makes a contribution to, and is part of, Albanian system reforms.  \nAt the end of primary education (nine-year education), all Albanian students sit two exams in Albanian language and mathematics. The comparison of these two final course results with students’ results in PISA international assessment has been useful and important in interpreting and analysing  \n1 National Agency of Exams [alfonsharizaj@yahoo.com](alfonsharizaj@yahoo.com)  \nachievements, and even more so in evaluating the effect of changes undertaken in students’ education at primary school level.  \nAlbania has participated in PISA 2000 and PISA 2009, and will again be one of the participants in PISA 2012.  \nParticipating countries and Albanian participation in PISA 2009  \nFigure 1: Map of countries participating in PISA 2009.  \nCountries participating in PISA 2009-OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) countries are:  \n1.
