PISA program data reveals that education in Portugal has regressed by about 20 years, with Portuguese students showing worse results in Mathematics and Reading than those recorded in the year 2000. This deterioration represents a significant setback in the country's school performance.
The report also points out that half of young people currently use artificial intelligence as a tool to avoid the effort of thinking and solving problems autonomously. This trend raises concerns about the development of critical skills and intellectual autonomy among students.
The question that arises is whether this situation results mainly from the virus pandemic or reflects deeper, structural problems in the Portuguese education system. The article suggests that the answer to this question could be crucial in halting this decline.
