Latin America falls back in PISA 2025 and Argentina signs its worst result since 2006

The 13 Latin American countries assessed in the 2025 PISA report, released on Tuesday, fell below OECD averages in all three measured areas. Argentina experienced its worst performance since participating in 2006, with a 11, 12, and 13 point decline in math, reading, and science respectively compared to 2022. Only 24% of Argentine students reached level 2 in math, the OECD's basic threshold, compared to the 65% OECD average. Uruguay showed the strongest regional performance.
