Student performance has been on a declining trend for 10 years. Student scores have dropped significantly in the past 5 years, losing almost the equivalent of a year of schooling. Over 60% of 15 year olds are falling behind in 18 countries.
What’s the point of doing well in school?
Kids are smart enough to know that doesn’t guarantee anything anymore.
So why are they in school 40hrs a week like a job? So their parents have somewhere to dump them while they work 40hrs a week? Just so you can all stay alive and nothing more?
The rich have broken the social contract, we should expect to see an increasing amount of poor people start breaking the contract as well.
The promise used to be that an education would improve your life in the future.
It would be interesting to know which explanation each country has.
Higher levels of atmospheric CO2 could be increasing CO2 concentration inside buildings with poor ventilation.
Probably cell phones
They specifically think they ruled out factors like technology, covid and support for the teachers, because different countries isolated for those variables.
I read a lot of the report, but not all. I think technology is a factor in decline. Small amount of access is beneficial, but deteriorates as usage goes up. I’ve seen similar data in Canada’s testing/surveys
Cell phones existed 10 years ago
