Expert: Time constraints behind Pisa 2025 maths decline
Malaysian students' maths score in Pisa 2025 fell 11 points to 397, even as science and reading improved. The president of the Science, Technology and Mathematics Association, Yunus Yasin, said the main cause is a lack of teaching time rather than a heavy syllabus, and urged the Education Ministry to give teachers incentives. He warned that weak maths mastery will hurt young people's future careers in technology and engineering.
