PISA 2025: Portuguese students worsen results, falling back to the beginning of the century

SAPO8 September 2026 at 08:30

Portuguese students achieved the worst ever results in the Reading test of the international PISA program, representing an aggravation of the downward trend that has been observed in recent years. This decline means that Portuguese students lost more than a year of learning compared to expected levels. PISA is an international assessment program that measures the academic performance of 15-year-old students in different countries. This assessment is used internationally as a benchmark to compare the quality of educational systems.
