OECD: using AI for schoolwork leaves students 1.5 years behind, PISA 2025 finds
According to Bloomberg, the OECD found that students who use AI for schoolwork fall 1.5 years behind. PISA 2025 data show, for example, that 41% of students in Thailand used AI for preliminary research, 42% to summarise texts and 41% to outline written assignments.
Who is affected and how
- education policymaker
- Based on the PISA data, policymakers need to regulate the difference between AI that supports learning and AI that replaces the task.
- teacher
- Teachers should design homework and assignments so that AI does not take over the thinking.
- student
- Using AI as a tutor versus as a shortcut can lead to different learning outcomes.
- parent
- Parents should ask whether their child uses the chatbot to get explanations or to have the task solved.
