OECD Reports Decline in Global 15-Year-Olds' Reading, Math, and Science Scores
The OECD's PISA 2025 results reveal a significant decline in 15-year-olds' performance in reading, mathematics, and science across 91 countries. Reading scores fell sharply by 28 points in OECD countries over a decade, with mathematics also dropping notably, while science remained relatively stable. The report highlights increased numbers of low-performing students and a rise in 'hasty readers' who answer quickly but inaccurately. AI use among students correlates with lower science scores, raising concerns about digital distractions and changing learning habits impacting foundational skills.
