- Four out of ten Spanish 4th-grade students are at a low or very low level in math, and three out of ten are in sciences.
- Spain is below the average of OECD and EU countries in both areas.
- In Catalonia, the average score is even lower than the Spanish one.
- These results perpetuate a constant trend of low academic performance in these areas.
- The shortage of teachers and issues with the education system are pointed out as possible causes.
Conclusion: It is vital that steps be taken to enhance performance in math and science, key areas for students' future development. Education should be a priority in the political agenda.
