Reading comprehension scored 340 points, the lowest score in the world. In math, PH students scored 353 points while science scores 325 which were both second to the last. Reading comprehension score is now one of the highest failure rates among participating countries.
PH's Department of Education welcomed the results, saying they would help the government establish its “baseline in relation to global standards, and benchmark the effectiveness of our reforms moving forward. The PISA results, along with our own assessments and studies, will aid in policy formulation, planning, and programming.”
DepEd promised to improve the quality of education in the country, it will review the K-12 curriculum, improve facilities, and train teachers and school administrators.
