The Basque Country has a low repetition rate and Navarre is above average in reading comprehension, science and mathematics
However, the PISA report shows a further decline in the scientific, mathematical and reading skills of students in the Basque Country, placing them close to the last positions in the State and well below the European average.
On Monday, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) published the PISA report with the results of last year's study of 15-16 year olds from 80 countries. This world-renowned educational diagnosis has highlighted the low rate of repeaters in the Basque Country, which stands at 14.1%, well below the national average of 22%.
In any case, the students of Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa have fallen in all their competences: science, mathematics and reading comprehension, the latter being the one that has experienced the greatest decline, thus placing the Basque Country close to the last positions in the State and well below the European average.
Data from the PISA report in the Basque Country
In the last three years, students aged 15 to 16 in Álava, Bizkaia and Gipuzkoa have lost 47 points. The Basque Autonomous Community has obtained 419 points, the worst result since 2003, and is below the state average (451 points). In reading comprehension, however, there has been a general decline in all communities and in the world as a whole.
There has also been a decline in scientific competence among Basque students, with 21 points less than the previous results (459 points), also below the State average.
In mathematics there has been a similar decline, with a loss of 22 points in three years, from 482 to 460, while in mathematics the Basque Country is just above the state average.
Data from the PISA report in Navarre
As far as Navarre is concerned, the results have been good overall, on the one hand, it has a good socio-economic context and it reflects an excellent school climate, since both the student's sense of belonging to the centre and the sustainability of the studies are above the European Union and OECD averages, and in terms of equity the Foral Community also has good data, with a repetition rate of 15.3%, significantly lower than the Spanish average of 22.0%.
Undoubtedly, the most prominent aspect of Navarre is academic performance , which far exceeds the national, European and OECD averages in all the competencies evaluated, namely the Foral Community with 492 in mathematics, 488 in science and 478 in reading.
