Latin America falls back in PISA 2025 and Argentina signs its worst result since 2006
The thirteen Latin American countries evaluated in the PISA 2025 report, released this Tuesday, scored below the OECD averages in the three areas measured, in an edition marked by widespread setbacks and the worst performance by Argentina since it began participating in the test.
The PISA 2025 report, released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), evaluated 13 Latin American countries, all of which scored below the OECD averages in reading, mathematics, and science. Argentina's performance was the worst since it began participating in the assessment in 2006, with scores of 367 in mathematics, 389 in reading, and 393 in science, representing declines of 11, 12, and 13 points, respectively, from 2022.
Uruguay had the region's strongest performance, with 444.5 points in science, 423.2 in reading, and 404.9 in mathematics, although it still fell short of OECD averages. Other countries' results included Chile scoring 403 in mathematics, 436 in reading, and 442 in science; Brazil scoring 408 in reading, 377 in mathematics, and 409 in science; and Mexico scoring 388 in mathematics, 408 in reading, and 414 in science.
The OECD noted that some countries, such as Colombia and Costa Rica, had expanded their secondary school enrollment, which may have contributed to apparent declines in scores.
