The Portuguese students obtained the worst ever results in the Reading test of the international PISA programme. This test assesses the academic performance of 15-year-old students on an international scale.

The worst ever results in Reading represent a worsening compared to previous years. This performance places Portugal in an unfavorable position compared to other participating countries in the programme.
