Interview: Researcher: "Even if Meta switches off Instagram at night, no one should believe that Pisa scores will explode"

Professor Köller discusses the poor performance of German students in the latest Pisa study, particularly in reading, mathematics, and science. He notes that 32% of 15-year-olds fail to meet the minimum level in reading and 34% in mathematics, hindering their chances of a qualified vocational training. Köller emphasizes the need for a modernized teaching approach that connects with students' everyday lives and incorporates digital media to make learning more engaging.

He also stresses the importance of promoting a culture of effort and challenge in schools to improve students' performance.
