"Listen, my son, to your father's instruction and do not reject your mother's teaching." These words, found at the beginning of the Book of Proverbs, emphasize the role of parents in guiding and educating their children. This ancient wisdom suggests that parents are the primary figures responsible for passing on knowledge and moral values. However, recent educational data suggests a growing challenge in this responsibility. The PISA 2025 survey, released in early September, has raised concerns about the state of education in France. According to the results, the scores of fifteen-year-old French students have dropped by 16 points in mathematics and 18 points in reading over just three years. These declines highlight a troubling trend in academic performance among the country's youth. At the same time, the number of students receiving "very good" grades on the baccalaureate, France's national academic exam, has increased dramatically. Between 1997 and 2024, the proportion of students receiving top marks has risen twelvefold. This increase in distinctions, however, may not reflect actual improvements in student achievement. Instead, it could mask the need for greater effort and reform within the education system. This contrast between falling test scores and rising distinctions raises questions about the accuracy of academic evaluations. While more students are being awarded high grades, the measurable outcomes suggest that the quality of education may not be improving. This discrepancy could lead to a false sense of security among families, potentially delaying the necessary actions to address the underlying issues in the education system.
