00:03the news in mathematics and reading however is bad
00:09scores fell sharply to the lowest levels PISA has ever recorded
00:14across OECD countries mathematics scores fell by nine points between 2022 and 2025
00:21that is about half a school year of learning
00:23and it comes on top of the record 15 point drop
00:27between 2018 and 2022 reading fell even further by 14 points that is the biggest drop between two
00:37pizza rounds we have ever seen reading matters most of all because it is the guideway to every
00:45other subject if you cannot read well you cannot learn well in science in history or in mathematics
00:55and the countries with the biggest falls in reading also had the biggest falls in mathematics
01:00is going on in reading more screen time and less reading for pleasure have gone hand in hand with
01:07weaker results since 2022 the share of students spending more than an hour a day on social media
01:14has risen by almost six percentage points we're also seeing more heisty reading students rushing
01:23through a text and giving a quick wrong answer the share of heisty readers has nearly doubled since
01:312018 digital tools can of course help students learn but they can also hold them back it all depends
01:42something really intriguing you know the world is no longer divided between rich and well-educated
01:49nations and poor and badly educated ones now except gdp per capita just explains half of the performance
01:58differences that you see here now the other half really is about policy now and some of the most
02:05remarkable progress that is happening now is happening in places that actually have very few resources but
02:12that use those resources
02:13that use those resources
02:14that use those resources
02:14Gracias.
