The price of what we don't learn

Portugal achieved its worst-ever results in PISA 2025, with mathematics at 460 points and reading at 462, similar to 2006 levels, wiping out two decades of progress since 2015. The article argues that this decline is not due to lack of funding — Portugal spends 4.3% of GDP on education, above the European average — but rather to poor resource allocation and the inability to transform investment into effective learning. It also highlights that socioeconomic inequality explains 17% of the variation in mathematics results, with 53% of disadvantaged students failing to reach minimum proficiency. Warning that this represents a cost to the country's competitiveness and productivity, the article concludes that the problem cannot be solved with more money, but with strategy, clear targets, and reform.
