    Nevertheless
    I Many in education have reservations about the methodology of Pisa.
    II Pisa should be considered when planning adaptation policies and practices in areas of the economy beyond the other sector.
    III Pisa is a mine of useful data, and the only widely available, rigorously conducted, periodic cross – country survey of school education.
    Solutions
    ‘Nevertheless’ introduces a sentence that gives information what is unexpected or surprising light of information given in a previous sentence. Generally, we connect those sentences by ‘nevertheless’ where the first sentence is simply a fact, event or situation that has a negative impact and then we present a second sentence showing a positive effect.
    In that case the connector can be used in statement I and statement III. In statement I, it states about the reservations (negative impact) and statement III states that it is of useful data and is widely available (positive impact). Statement II does not present such relationship.
    New Statement: Many in education have reservations about the methodology of Pisa nevertheless Pisa is a mine of useful data, and the only widely available, rigorously conducted, periodic cross – country survey of school education.
