Wallonia-Brussels teachers adapt methods as PISA 2025 shows declining reading skills

PISA 2025 results show 15-year-olds in Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles struggle with long texts and complex tasks, responding faster but less accurately and with reduced effort. Teachers are responding by changing methods and reading lists to counter disengagement. This continues a long-term trend of declining reading proficiency in the region, with no immediate policy shift indicated.
