PARIS - Education performance has largely stagnated in many OECD countries over the last two decades despite higher spending, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said on Tuesday in a survey of international learning standards.
But in the past the OECD has suggested improving teacher performance is more important to the quality of learning than other factors like spending more to reduce class sizes. It was all the more galling in light of the fact that per student spending in OECD member countries had risen more than 15% over the past decade, the organization said in a report presenting the study.
Out of the 79 countries, only Albania, Colombia, Macao, Moldova, Peru, Portugal and Qatar had seen an improvement in their scores since joining in PISA, and only Portugal is a member of the OECD. With reading the main focus of the test this time around, it found that one out of four students in OECD countries could not complete basic reading tasks, leaving them dangerously ill-prepared for a life in an increasingly digitalized economy.
