The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) results published in Colombia reveal a concerning educational setback, particularly in mathematics and reading. Students in Colombia continue to perform below the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) average, with 71% of 15-year-olds failing to reach basic proficiency in math.
Only 29% of students achieved Level 2 or higher, indicating minimal mathematical skills. In reading, Colombia scored 399 points, a decline from 409 in 2022.
