Israel Sees Collapse in Latest PISA Education Scores on Math, Reading, Science
Israel’s Education Ministry said 29% of students missed basic proficiency across all three subjects as wartime disruptions weighed on testing.
- On Tuesday, the OECD released the 2025 PISA assessment results, revealing that Israeli students recorded one of the steepest academic declines among developed nations in reading, mathematics, and science.
- These results provide a snapshot of learning during wartime, as students faced community evacuations, frequent school closures, and teachers called to reserve duty over the past 18 months.
- Israel lost 38 points in reading, 25 in mathematics, and 23 in science since 2022, pushing the country to 31st in reading and 33rd in both mathematics and science.
- Education Minister Yoav Kisch cited the system's "extraordinary resilience" under pressure, while the National Parents Association rejected such explanations, urging officials to find real solutions.
- Nearly 29% of Israeli students failed to reach basic proficiency in all three subjects, intensifying debates over teaching quality and the country's ability to reverse this multi-cycle decline.
