The 2025 results of the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) have been released, highlighting a decline in academic performance across several regions. Data indicates a correlation between lower test scores, particularly in reading comprehension, and increased time spent by students on digital devices for recreational purposes. OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann emphasized that higher screen time is linked to poorer educational outcomes.
Beyond digital habits, the findings point to a shift in domestic dynamics regarding education. In the Dominican Republic, reports show a decrease in parental involvement in school life between 2022 and 2025. Similarly, in Peru, experts have linked the country's declining performance to the significant role social media plays in the daily lives of children and adolescents.
