Recent reports from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and various news sources highlight a significant decline in global education standards, particularly in math, science, and reading. The decline is linked to factors such as increased mobile phone usage for leisure, teacher shortages, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The OECD's Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) scores show a decline in student performance, with Scotland's education system under scrutiny for plummeting pupil performance. The OECD's study also emphasizes the mental state of students and the impact of socioeconomic factors on educational outcomes. The decline in learning standards has prompted calls for government intervention to address the crisis.
