Recent data from the PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment) tests have highlighted various educational challenges across different countries. In El Salvador, students scored 343 points in mathematics in the 2022 evaluation, a result that experts note underscores the ongoing challenge of strengthening mathematical competencies and teaching conditions in classrooms.

Additional findings released in relation to the PISA evaluations address broader educational factors. OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann highlighted that student performance, particularly in reading comprehension, tends to be less favorable when students spend more time using digital devices for leisure. Furthermore, data concerning Dominican students pointed to a decrease in family involvement in the school lives of adolescents between 2022 and 2025.
