The results from the 2025 edition of the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) documented a notable decline in the education levels across several Latin American nations, as several media outlets reported Tuesday.
\n\nPISA is a program run by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) that measures the academic performance of participating 15-year-old students. The organization detailed that more than 760,000 students across 91 countries took PISA’s 2025 science, mathematics, and reading tests. OECD found an overall decline in the performance of participating countries — documenting lowest average levels of performance ever observed in science, reading, and mathematics.
\n\nThe Argentine outlet Infobae reports that, in the case of Latin America, all of the region’s participating countries ended with results below the OECD averages, and with no regional country exhibiting improvements in reading when compared to 2022.
\n\nA profound decline in math levels was documented across the board, most notably in Argentina and Mexico. An overall stagnation registered in Brazil, and Colombia, among other regional nations. Costa Rica, while being the country that experienced the most improvements in some areas such as sciences, ended up with a performance below the global average thanks to poor results in other areas.
