În 2015, România era peste Turcia la PISA. Zece ani mai târziu, elevii turci au aproape 70 de puncte în plus la Științe. Ce s-a schimbat

Over the past decade, Turkey has significantly improved its PISA scores, surpassing Romania in all subjects. In 2015, Romania led in Mathematics, Reading, and Science, but by 2025, Turkish students scored 69 points higher in Science. Turkey's educational reforms focused on skills and active learning, while Romania's performance declined, with more students falling below the basic proficiency level. Gabriela Bartic highlights the importance of consistent evaluation and intervention in education, contrasting Turkey's proactive measures with Romania's stagnation. She warns that the long-term effects of educational shortcomings will impact society as a whole, leading to functional illiteracy among future adults.
