The PISA assessment reveals that socioeconomic inequalities in Portuguese schools have not decreased, with the gap between more advantaged and more disadvantaged students having widened. This situation goes against the trend observed in the OECD, where other countries managed to reduce these differences.
Portuguese students continue to stand out for being curious and perseverant, remaining above the average of OECD countries in this regard. These data are part of the most recent results of the Programme for International Student Assessment.
The context of this assessment is part of a broader educational landscape, where the issue of inequalities in access to academic success remains a significant challenge for the Portuguese education system.
