The Italian school stands tall.Valditara on OECD-Pisa data: 'We are above the average, we are becoming an international reference'The Italian education system has shown improvement according to the OECD-PISA 2025 results, with students scoring above the international average in reading, mathematics, and science. Education Minister Giuseppe Valditara highlighted these achievements, noting that Italy now outperforms countries like Finland, France, Germany, the United States, and Sweden. However, the report also points to ongoing challenges such as high absenteeism, low sense of belonging among students, and structural weaknesses in digital skills. While there has been progress in reducing regional disparities, long-term trends show persistent issues, particularly in mathematics where performance declined over the past decade. The report acknowledges growing use of artificial intelligence in study habits but highlights gaps in digital competence and access to quality tools.

ANSAIndependentCenter2 hr. agoThe article reports on the OECD's PISA 2025 results, highlighting a decline in students' preparation levels across OECD countries, with the lowest scores ever recorded in mathematics and reading. It notes that one in five 15-year-olds in OECD nations has insufficient skills in science, math, and reading, up from 16% in 2022. The Italian Ministry of Education claims that Italian students perform above the OECD average in reading, scoring 474 points compared to the OECD average of 461, surpassing Finland, a traditional benchmark. In mathematics, Italy scores 468 points, slightly above the OECD average of 463, and outperforms France, Germany, the U.S., and Sweden. The ministry emphasizes that these results reflect a stable and strong education system.

OECD alarms: student preparation at historic lows, but Italians better at readingThe OECD's PISA 2025 report highlights declining international student performance in science, reading, and mathematics, with results reaching historic lows. Italy, however, performs above the OECD average in all three areas, scoring 474 in reading (vs. 461 internationally), 468 in math (vs. 463), and 483 in science (vs. 482). The Italian education system has improved significantly in science since 2022. Minister Giuseppe Valditara credits the system’s resilience, noting Italy surpasses countries like Finland in reading and outperforms France, Germany, the U.S., and Sweden in math. While Asian systems like China, Singapore, and South Korea lead globally, European nations such as Estonia, the UK, Finland, and Ireland also exceed the OECD average. The report attributes declining performance to increased screen time, reduced interest in reading, and changes in student-school relationships post-pandemic. It notes rising 'hasty reading' rates and frequent AI chatbot use among students.
