De ce a rămas România în urmă la PISA 2025: elevii români fac cu 1.600 de ore mai puțină școală decât media OCDE
Interim Education Minister Mihai Dimian addressed Romania's poor PISA 2025 results, emphasizing the need for better school conditions and supported teachers. He highlighted shared responsibility among students, teachers, parents, and communities for educational improvement. Dimian noted that 89% of tested students were in urban high schools, affecting rural-urban performance disparities. He pointed out discrepancies between National Assessment and PISA scores, suggesting a need to rethink the curriculum. The decline in Romania's scores is part of a broader trend among OECD countries, exacerbated by pandemic-related disruptions and fewer instructional hours compared to OECD averages. Dimian did not propose extending school hours but considered reorganizing the academic calendar.
