Imanol Pradales addresses declining PISA scores in Basque education

Basque President Imanol Pradales has addressed concerns regarding recent PISA report results, which indicate a decline in academic performance among students in science, mathematics, and reading. The report shows Basque students are performing significantly below the European average and near the bottom of Spanish rankings.

During a session in the Basque Parliament, opposition groups questioned the government's stance on these educational outcomes. Some political actors have suggested a link between the declining scores and the current linguistic education model, specifically the use of the Basque language. Pradales cautioned against using these results to undermine the Basque language or the existing educational framework, urging for a constructive debate rather than political exploitation.
