- PISA assesses student performance in reading, mathematics and science.
- As per PISA 2025, a majority of surveyed 15-year-olds reported never using AI chatbots for schoolwork.
Mains
GS Paper 2 - Education: PISA 2025's finding that AI chatbot use for schoolwork is now near-universal among 15-year-olds raises questions about assessment integrity, digital divide and the adequacy of school AI-literacy curricula. Way forward lies in embedding responsible-AI-use guidelines and critical-thinking assessment within national education policy rather than banning the technology outright.
