Intergraf Highlights Print’s Crucial Role In Education

In response to the recently published results of the 2022 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) by the OECD, Intergraf released a statement calling for a balanced approach to education, emphasizing the importance of retaining print materials in the learning process.

The PISA 2022 results show a significant decline in student performance in reading, falling by 10 points in OECD countries.

This is a substantial drop, equivalent to half a year’s worth of learning in reading. This decline is unprecedented in the history of PISA, as the OECD average score has never changed by more than five points in reading between consecutive assessments. While the COVID-19 pandemic appears to be a factor contributing to this decline, trend analysis reveals pre-pandemic declines in reading performance, thus indicating a long-term problem.

According to PISA 2022, Singapore, Ireland, Japan, Korea, Chinese Taipei and Estonia score best at reading, while several European countries, including Slovenia, the Netherlands, Slovakia, Malta, Serbia, Iceland, Greece, Romania and Cyprus, perform statistically significantly below the OECD average. Most European countries hover around the OECD average, with the UK, Finland, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Sweden, Switzerland, and Italy performing above average. However, unprecedented drops in performance occurred in Norway, the Netherlands, Poland, Finland, Slovenia, Germany, Spain, Sweden, Greece, France, and Iceland. On average, 26% of students across OECD countries are classified as low performers in reading.
