Painting over grime equals cleanliness

from Shaping Ethical AI (English version)

PISA 2025 results, falling standards, a teacher shortage, buried reforms: nobody is lying, every indicator is green, and pupils keep dropping out. “Paint over grime equals clean”: a biting anatomy of a system that would rather improve its grade than its work. #EducationNationale #PISA2025 #School PUNCHLINE PISA 2025: French schools paint over their failures while standards collapse.
