The PISA 2025 results have made headlines globally. 760,000 students in 91 countries took the science, maths and reading tests, representing 33 million 15-year-olds worldwide. Data shows:
- Education performance continues to decline globally, with huge drops in reading
- AI use is having a negative impact on learning for most students, although not for all
- Student sense of belonging at school is improving in most countries
- Over half of students may be vulnerable to misinformation and disinformation
But how do we make sense of these findings for our own context? Why are some countries making progress while others are falling behind? And what can education leaders learn from both?
In this workshop, you’ll hear four education leaders explore these questions live and unfiltered, and share their perspectives on the latest PISA findings. Together, we’ll challenge common interpretations and explore what the results mean for our efforts to improve learning for all.
This opportunity will be held in English, with interpretation and/or translation to Spanish. If you need live interpretation of the experience and/or translation of materials in additional languages to support your engagement, please indicate this via the registration/application form. We welcome all requests and will work to provide appropriate language support measures. However, please understand that we may not be able to accommodate all requests.

Why would three villages ask for a wrestling ground before a road? In remote villages in Jammu and Kashmir, Anshu Gupta’s team expected people to ask for a road. Instead, villagers chose a wrestling ground for young people and a local sporting tradition. Their choice challenged the team’s assumptions.
Join us on November 18 for a People First Talk with Anshu, founder of Goonj and Gram Swabhimaan, on dignity, local knowledge and how communities organize around priorities they identify. With Kassaga Arinaitwe, he will explore lessons for educators, alumni and others working with communities.
During this People First Talk we will:
- Explore how communities can identify their own priorities, mobilize local knowledge and resources, and work together to address challenges, drawing on Anshu Gupta's experience with Goonj and Gram Swabhimaan.
- Understand how dignity, self-worth, trust, and shared decision-making can strengthen people's agency and capacity to lead change collectively.
- Reflect on what educators, community leaders, and development practitioners can do differently to support locally led change, including how to ensure community voices shape decisions and how to sustain progress over time.
This call will take place o Wednesday, November 18 | 10:00 am EST | 3:00 pm GMT | 6:00 pm EAT | 8:30 pm IST
