PISA data suggests "equity" focus may be lowering educational standards

The latest PISA data suggests that a focus on "equity" in education may be leading to a decline in overall standards, creating a "false equity" where performance is falling across the board. This perspective argues that miscalibrating assessment metrics, akin to miscalibrating sensors in engineering, does not solve systemic issues and that precision in standards is crucial. AI
