Pisa-Studie: Neuer Pisa-Schock: „Eindeutiger Abwärtstrend“ – Deutschland so schlecht wie noch nie

In the latest Pisa study, German students have performed as poorly as they ever have. The results, released on Tuesday, are even worse than those from 2000, which triggered the initial "Pisa shock". The study, published on Tuesday, states that "In all three core domains, science, reading, and mathematics, 15-year-old students in Germany attain the lowest competency values since the Pisa surveys began."

Germany's Education Minister, Karin Prien (CDU), described this as a "concerning finding", asserting that the country fails to capitalize on the potential of young people, stating that "the upward promise in our country is not working at the moment". Prien added that the education system faces significant challenges, attributing this to the country's late response to a more diverse student population, changes in parental upbringing, and increased screen time and social media usage.
