The 2025 PISA assessment by OECD reveals a decline in 15-year-olds' average scores in mathematics, reading, and science compared to 2006, with reading showing the steepest drop. The COVID-19 pandemic contributed to this trend. Data indicate that moderate digital device use correlates with higher scores, while excessive screen time is linked to lower performance. The assessment covered about 760,000 students across 91 countries, highlighting concerns about global student learning levels.
