15 Years Have Passed Since The First Pisa Study Was Conducted
15 years ago, Germany had its first Pisa study. During this time, much has been improved in Germany’s education system, but a recent special study shows that there are still many low-performing students in Germany. What is encouraging, however, is that support for these students has improved significantly.
Simple Texts Are Often Not Understood
The special study found that unfortunately, many students fail even simple tasks. The students tested were in the 9th grade, who is about 15 years old. Every fifth student has difficulties in solving even simple tasks in mathematics correctly. Problems were also found in reading short texts. The students do not understand even simple texts.

The Pisa study is an international school performance survey that has been conducted for 15 years. Every three years, it tests fifteen-year-olds knowledge and skills relevant to everyday life and work.
