MANILA — House Speaker Faustino "Bojie" G. Dy III on Wednesday acknowledged Filipino educators for delivering the country's strongest-ever results in the latest global student assessment programme.
The Philippines achieved record-high scores across reading, mathematics, and science in the 2025 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), marking a significant milestone in the nation's educational performance on the international stage.
Dy highlighted the dedication and sacrifices made by teachers and school administrators in driving the improvement. The assessment results underscore the ongoing efforts to strengthen the country's education system and enhance student competency in core academic areas.
The PISA assessment, conducted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), serves as a benchmark for evaluating student proficiency in participating nations worldwide. The Philippines' improved standing reflects progress in its education reform initiatives and classroom instruction quality across the archipelago.
