Global student scores decline in reading, math, and science
A global study has revealed a significant decline in student performance in reading, mathematics, and science. The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results show that teenagers in many countries are performing worse than previous cohorts. While some nations like the UK still rank ahead, their scores are also slipping. Australia has recorded its worst-ever results in maths and reading, with students plunging in global rankings. Similarly, Hong Kong students have dropped in international rankings for maths, science, and literacy. The study indicates a widespread trend of worsening academic performance among students worldwide.
