Álvaro Santos Pereira, Governor of the Bank of Portugal, expressed concern about Portugal's results in the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), the international student assessment tests.
The official recalled that the negative trend in educational results is not a recent phenomenon, but rather a problem that has been accumulating over time.
Santos Pereira warned that artificial intelligence could worsen this educational situation if legislators do not take measures to address the problem adequately.
The Governor of the Bank of Portugal's comment comes in the context of a broader analysis of the economic and social challenges the country faces.
