OECD Reports Decline in Reading and Math Scores Among 15-Year-Olds in Wealthy Nations
The latest OECD PISA 2025 results reveal a significant decline in reading and mathematics scores among 15-year-olds in wealthy countries, with average reading scores dropping by 28 points and math by 22 points since 2015. This decline, equivalent to over a year of learning loss, began before the COVID-19 pandemic. One in five students is now a low performer in reading, math, and science, up from 16% in 2022. Science scores remained relatively stable during this period.
