Developments: 2. The release of the 2025 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results has triggered significant debate regarding educational standards in Morocco and France. In Morocco, the Ministry of National Education, Preschool and Sports acknowledged insufficient learning levels among 15-year-old students. However, officials argued that these results do not reflect current reforms, such as the ‘Pioneer Establishments’ program, because the students evaluated were part of the old educational model. In France, the results have sparked concerns over academic decline. While some experts cautioned against a ‘catastrophic’ media interpretation, noting that declines in reading comprehension were consistent with broader OECD averages, other reports highlighted a drop in mathematics performance to 34th place. This perceived decline in the public system has led to a growing movement toward private and independent schooling, as families seek alternatives due to concerns regarding safety, bullying, and overall quality. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-10: France faces academic decline amid rising interest in private schooling Declining PISA rankings in France have sparked debates over falling academic standards and a growing movement toward private and independent schooling as alternatives to the national education system. 6 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/france-faces-academic-decline-amid-rising-interest-in-private-schooling ### 2026-09-10: PISA 2025 results prompt responses in Morocco and France The PISA 2025 results have drawn scrutiny in Morocco and France.
