Miguel Morgado analysed the results of the PISA 2025 report, focusing on the decline of education in Portugal and in Europe. According to the analyst, there is no doubt that there is political responsibility for the reversal observed in educational policies since 2015. The analysis also addressed the rise in interest rates. Additionally, Morgado commented on the electoral manoeuvre of Pedro Sánchez's government in Spain.

Why this matters
