## Resource

Dutch teens are falling behind in reading—nearly 40% of 15-year-olds now at risk of leaving school with inadequate literacy, a sharp rise from 33% and a full year’s worth of learning lost since 2015. While math and science scores still hold up, they’re slipping too, even dipping below OECD averages in science. Experts point to pandemic disruptions and digital distractions like smartphones as key factors, while the junior education minister vows a three-year action plan to turn things around before it’s too late.
