  • Mathematics scores fell to 388 points, seven fewer than in 2022, while Mexico placed second from last in the OECD in science and reading.

Mexico's latest PISA results have given opposition lawmakers fresh ammunition against Morena's education policy. PRI and PAN deputies accused the government of presiding over an educational setback and demanded less political messaging and more resources.

PRI coordinator Rubén Moreira said the results confirmed Mexico's decline. "Mexico needs less propaganda and more results. Morena's education policy is criminal," he wrote on social media.

The figures cited in the article place Mexico 63rd in mathematics, 53rd in reading and 64th in science among 91 countries and economies. Its mathematics and reading results were worse than in the previous edition. Mathematics drew particular concern, with a score of 388 points, seven below the 2022 result.

Moreira contrasted Mexico's performance with that of Singapore, Japan, South Korea and Estonia, which he said lead global education rankings. PAN deputy coordinator Noemí Luna blamed education budget cuts, the elimination of full-time schools, the end of assessments and the politicization of textbooks. "They cut the education budget, eliminated Full-Time Schools, ended assessment and politicized textbooks. These are the consequences: the failure of public education that steals opportunities from our children and condemns them to poverty," she said.
