The latest results from the PISA tests, an international assessment conducted by the OECD, reveal a marked decline in school performance in France and Germany.
These tests measure the skills of 15-year-old students in reading, mathematics, and science, applied to real-world situations.
According to France 24, France has recorded its worst results ever, while Germany has also experienced its lowest PISA ranking.
This drop in educational standards, described as a “PISA shock,” is causing concern among several European countries accustomed to higher scores.
