Families' Interest in Their Kids' Education Is Falling Around the Globe as Scores Drop, Test Shows
A student survey links the declines to weaker family support, more digital distraction and heavier chatbot use, researchers said.
- On Tuesday, newly released results from the Programme for International Student Assessment showed average math, reading, and science scores among developed economies hit their lowest point in PISA history.
- Families' interest in their kids' education is falling in many high-income countries, correlating to plunging test scores as school systems struggle with declining parental engagement.
- Students who receive weekly parental support score around 35 points higher on PISA science tests, equivalent to over a year and a half of learning, said Andreas Schleicher, director for education and skills at the OECD.
- Asian nations including Japan, Korea, and China dominate rankings among the top regions for math, science, and reading, with fewer than 10% of tested students in these countries reporting digital distraction.
- Experts worry China's educational dominance has serious political implications for the United States, where scores slid to historic lows; Tracey Burns of the National Center warned results require cautious interpretation due to U.S. sample size limitations.
