In recent years, a growing body of evidence has pointed to a concerning decline in student achievement in many countries. This phenomenon constitutes one of the key challenges facing education systems today.
We bring together researchers, experts, decisionmakers, and practitioners from around the world to address three questions:
-
What do the data actually tell us?
What do we really know about recent global trends in student achievement? How strong is the empirical evidence for the decline in student skills across countries, cohorts, and subject domains? -
Where do these changes come from?
What are the underlying causes driving observed changes in education systems? This question is particularly relevant in the context of advances in digital technologies and broader societal transformations, potential shifts in attitudes towards education and learning, and changes in cognitive, motivational, and learning processes. -
What next?
What policy responses are needed to address these challenges? Based on the available evidence, how can education systems respond effectively not only to maintain but also improve educational outcomes?
