Portuguese students achieved the worst ever result in the reading component last year, according to the PISA 2025 report. This assessment represents a significant setback in the performance of students in Portugal.
The data was collected by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which conducts the largest international study evaluating school performance. The PISA programme assesses students from various countries in areas such as reading, mathematics and sciences.
This result raises concerns about the quality of education in Portugal, particularly in student literacy. The report indicates that the improvement trend seen in previous years may have been reversed.
Portuguese schools and educational authorities now face the challenge of understanding the causes of this decline and implementing measures to reverse this trend in the coming years.
