New Zealand was not alone, with overall average scores for maths, reading and science dropping in the 81 countries and economies participating in the tests.
Interestingly, Kahoot is used at uni after lectures - its a good way to see how well you understood the content and generates a bit of health competition… and see who hasn’t grown up since high school and knows all the funny names (spoiler… every guy).
I do agree that there seems to be alot less learning at school compared to when we did - less spelling, writing.etc, but am also aware there is now much more content to get through in the same amount of time with tech changes. Reading seems to be still right up there though, and it shows in the results listed.
I’ve been at uni since '21 (returned student) and have definitely noticed a general lack of interest and care compared to the first time I was there a decade ago. How much is learning not happening, vs how much is students no longer seeing the point in trying to get ahead anymore?
