OECD PISA 2025 report reveals global educational performance trends
The OECD PISA 2025 report reveals a complex global landscape of educational performance. In the United States, student performance in mathematics and science remains stagnant, while reading scores have declined. Despite these results, the OECD advised caution regarding U.S. data, noting that the country failed to meet certain technical standards for sample collection, which could introduce biases. Specifically, 74% of U.S. students reached the basic level in reading, 65% in mathematics, and 78% in science. However, only 13% achieved high scores in reading and science.
Other nations report varying degrees of crisis and success. Colombia faces a significant challenge, with scores in mathematics, reading, and science falling well below OECD averages, and only about 30% of students reaching minimum competency in math. Paraguay also reported catastrophic results, with 76% of students struggling with reading comprehension. In contrast, England has entered the global top 10 in mathematics, reading, and science, attributed to long-term policy consistency and school autonomy.
Regional trends show significant shifts. In Argentina, there is a noted improvement in primary language skills due to pedagogical changes, though secondary mathematics remains a crisis. Meanwhile, the Basque Country in Spain has seen a sharp decline in reading and science scores. Discussions surrounding these results often highlight the impact of digital distractions, such as mobile phones and artificial intelligence, on student cognitive development and learning habits.
