Education Secretary Sonny Angara announced yesterday a notable improvement in the scores of Filipino students in the 2025 Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). The improvements span across all three tested subjects: reading, mathematics, and science. This marks a positive trend in the academic performance of students in the Philippines, signaling potential advancements in the nation’s education system. Details regarding the specific score increases were not immediately available, but Angara expressed optimism about the development. The PISA is a triennial international survey that aims to evaluate the educational systems of participating countries worldwide. These results often influence education policy and reforms, and are closely watched by stakeholders in the Philippines. Further analysis of the data is expected to provide greater insight into the areas of strength and areas needing continued focus within the Filipino education system.
