OECD averages stood at 461 points in reading, 463 in mathematics and 482 in science, the lowest figures recorded since the test was first applied
All 13 Latin American countries assessed in the PISA 2025 report, released Tuesday, scored below the OECD averages in the three subjects measured, in an edition marked by broad declines and by Argentina's worst performance since it began taking part in the test.
The assessment, which the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development administers every three years to enrolled 15-year-olds, was the largest in the series: more than 760,000 students from 91 countries and economies took part. OECD averages stood at 461 points in reading, 463 in mathematics and 482 in science, the lowest figures recorded since the test was first applied. This round also added computational problem-solving as a fourth domain.
