The author criticizes the OECD's PISA 2025 report for minimizing a global education crisis, evident in plummeting reading and math scores. Despite data showing the lowest scores since 2000 across 91 countries, the report, titled “Future-Ready Students,” offers vague explanations. The author argues this avoids the most probable cause: widespread smartphone and AI use, which correlates with weaker performance and declining reading for pleasure. The article asserts the OECD has a moral duty to unequivocally name this crisis and prompt urgent action, rather than offering anodyne obfuscation. The current equivocation is an abdication of responsibility for failing a generation.
