The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's 2025 test of 760,000 15-year-olds across 91 countries showed reading, mathematics and science scores at their lowest levels since data began to be collected in 2000.

经济合作与发展组织 (OECD) 对 91 个国家的 76 万名 15 岁青少年进行的 2025 年测试显示，阅读、数学和科学成绩均处于自 2000 年开始收集数据以来的最低水平。
