The Minister of Education and Vocational Training, Milagros Tolón, acknowledged that Spanish students present a deficit in reading comprehension, stating that this is "the basis of all problems." Tolón committed to "continue working" to halt the sharp decline in student performance in essential subjects.
The recognition comes after the release of the latest PISA report, which reveals a significant decline in the performance of Spanish students in fundamental areas such as reading, mathematics, and science. The report was made public today, raising concern at the Ministry of Education.
The minister made these statements acknowledging publicly the challenges identified by the international study. The PISA report regularly assesses the performance of 15-year-old students in different countries, serving as a reference for international comparisons in the education system.
The Spanish executive now faces the challenge of implementing measures to reverse this trend of academic decline, with special focus on improving reading comprehension as a fundamental element for success in all subjects.
