UNESCO representative in Peru Guiomar Alonso said in a 21 September commentary that PISA 2025 results show the scale of the country’s learning challenge. According to figures released by Peru’s education ministry, 42% of students reached at least Level 2 in reading, 47% in science and 30% in mathematics.
