Teenagers are becoming less intelligent

New data from the PISA international assessment show that, following a sharp decline in scores during the pandemic, students’ academic performance has not recovered.

▪️In the 23 OECD countries that participated in all rounds of the study, scores in math and reading have continued to decline since their peak in 2012. The gap between the highest- and lowest-performing students has reached a record high.

▪️The proportion of 15-year-olds with low scores in math, reading, and science all at once has risen from 16% to 20%.

▪️Among the reasons cited are the effects of the pandemic, increased absenteeism, smartphones and social media, declining discipline, and the overuse of untested educational technologies.

At the same time, the United Kingdom has improved its standing by focusing on more rigorous exams, knowledge-rich curricula, and discipline.

Asian countries continue to lead the way: Singapore, China, Macau, Taiwan, and Japan remain among the best in the world.ㅤ
