Diário de Leiria8 September 2026 at 12:00

The data released today reveals that Portuguese 15-year-old students assessed last year again returned worse results in the three domains assessed: Mathematics, Reading and Science. This deterioration represents a significant setback in the country's school performance indicators.

The current results are at the level of the beginning of the century, indicating a concerning regression in the performance of Portuguese students in international assessments. This negative trend affects all areas assessed by the evaluation program.
