Israel has recorded its worst-ever education scores in math, reading, and science, according to the latest OECD assessment. Compared to the previous assessment in 2022, the country experienced a drop across all three core skills, causing its ranking among developed nations to descend to 33rd place.
In response to the results, the education minister attributed the declining performance to the wartime conditions that prevailed at the time the testing was conducted in 2025.
