Today’s PISA results show the “phenomenal success” of “evidence-led” education reforms over the past 13 years, one of their chief architects has claimed.
Nick Gibb, who served three stints as schools minister between 2010 and this year, also paid tribute to teachers who had “embraced” reforms to maths, after England improved its standing in the international league tables.
Results from the 2022 PISA tests, taken by 15-year-olds across the world, show scores in maths, reading and science all fell relative to 2018 after the Covid pandemic.
However, England’s results held up better than others’ – with the country rising to 11th in the world in maths, with reading and science remaining relatively unchanged at 13th.
