  "account": "PISA 2025 results reveal hope for Malaysian students as they demonstrate the potential to grow and adapt with the right support, says Rusmini Ku Ahmad, Assistant Deputy Minister of Education, Malaysian Sector and Curriculum. Malaysia's scores in scientific literacy increased from 416 in 2022 to 419, while reading scores rose from 388 to 393. The country also excelled in problem-solving computational skills, scoring 484, just 16 points below the OECD average. In a rapidly advancing technology and artificial intelligence era, Rusmini emphasizes the need for Malaysian students to be more than just technology users, but also possess critical thinking abilities to understand, create, and solve problems. The Assistant Deputy Minister highlights that the students' strong attitude towards learning, willingness to seek help, and timeliness for learning are the top strengths, besides the very supportive teachers. The achievement gap between Malaysian schools is smaller compared to the international average. Gender gap in scores is also smaller than the OECD average in reading, math, and science domains. However, Rusmini draws attention to the mathematics domain, which declined from 409 in 2022 to 397. The Ministry of Education is focusing on basic mastery, teaching quality, and teacher competence to make math learning more meaningful through the Mathematics Education Transformation Design 2026-2035. Beyond these achievements, Rusmini stresses the importance of addressing issues like cyberbullying, digital literacy, and responsible use of artificial intelligence as modern education is about building knowledge, not just acquiring information. Ultimately, the goal is not only to see PISA scores rise, but to see Malaysian children develop in terms of knowledge, confidence, critical thinking, and their ability to build the future.",
