Southeast Asian educational reform following PISA results

Overview

In Indonesia, schools in Yogyakarta are adopting literacy, numeracy, and STEM programs designed to align with Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) competencies. Supported by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, these initiatives utilize a ‘Deep Learning’ approach intended to foster critical thinking through mindful and meaningful instruction. Some schools have begun integrating Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) into assessments and employing project-based learning.

Despite increases in science and reading scores, Indonesia’s mathematics scores declined by two points to 364 compared to 2022. Legislative leaders have emphasized the need for consistent implementation to prevent policies from becoming merely ceremonial, noting that 2025 national data shows only 55.7 percent of elementary students reached minimum literacy competency.
