Los alumnos más ricos empeoran el doble que los más pobres en lengua y matemáticas
Los estudiantes de clase alta lideran la pérdida de rendimiento educativo en el conjunto del mundo desarrollado
Spain suffered a disastrous result in the PISA, the world's largest educational assessment. However, the blow was not equal for all pupils. When divided into four levels based on the socioeconomic and cultural background of their families, the greatest decline was led by the richest pupils. This is not a minor difference. In reading, the most well-off group loses 33 points compared to the previous PISA edition, double the decline of students from other social classes.
As a rough estimate, the OECD, responsible for the test, considers 20 points equivalent to a course academic difference. In mathematics, they lose 24.2 points - more than double that of the most vulnerable. And in science, they regress by 12, while the previous third quartile advanced by 2.7 points. This does not prevent the most affluent students from continuing to achieve the best results.
