Argentina's PISA Scores Decline Amid Blame Game
WHY IT MATTERS
The decline in PISA scores highlights concerns about the quality of education in Argentina, with potential long-term consequences for the country's economic and social development.
What happened
Argentina's 15-year-olds have seen a decline in PISA test scores in maths, reading, and science compared to 2022. The results have sparked a blame game between the current government and its predecessors.
The Milei government has shifted the focus to its predecessors, while the actual cause of the decline remains unclear. The PISA test is a widely recognized assessment of education quality, and the decline in scores has renewed debate over the state of education in Argentina.
The exact reasons behind the decline are yet to be determined, but the issue has become a contentious topic in the country's education sector.
