The PISA test of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) is conducted every 3 years and aims to measure the ability of 15-year-old students to use their knowledge and skills in reading, mathematics and science.
Mexico has participated in all rounds of PISA since 2000, he said in an interview with 24 HORAS Maria Teresa Gutierrez, Director of Indicator Monitoring at Mexicans First.

The director pointed out that in 2022 the PISA test was carried out without the pilot having been carried out, since, when it had to have been carried out, the schools were closed due to the health contingency caused by the covid-19, However, this was an exception, a flexibility that was granted to all participating countries.

He specified that the decision to participate in PISA 2025 can wait until the end of 2024, however the rules of the OECD They are clear, and These include conducting the pilot test and sending the required information before the end of the school year.

Apply for PISA 2025 This will only be possible if Mexico carries out a pilot field test no later than September of this year, which is the start of the next school year.

If Mexico does not participate in the test PISA 2025, It would be the first time in 25 years that I do not participate in this test.

The lack of the pilot test and, above all, not participating in the 2025 test, would mean interrupting a series of data obtained through very extensive questionnaires, which would lead to ignoring the progress or setbacks in the learning of millions of students across the country.
