Mexico's performance in the 2022 PISA tests showed declines in mathematics, reading comprehension, and science compared to 2018, placing it among the three lowest-performing OECD countries, according to the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness (IMCO). The data, spanning from 2003 to 2022, indicates that initial improvements in math scores between 2003 and 2009 were followed by declines after 2012 and 2015. Although there was a slight recovery in 2018, the score dropped further to 395 in 2022, the lowest since 2003 within this timeframe. Reading comprehension reached its peak in 2009 but has steadily declined since then, ending at 415 points in 2022, which is below levels recorded in previous years. In science, performance improved slightly in 2018 but fell again in 2022, reaching 410 points. All three subjects experienced a decline between 2018 and 2022. This historical overview was released ahead of the announcement of the 2025 PISA results scheduled for September 8.
