In the area of reading, the country recorded 346 points, while in mathematics the figure stood at 339. For its part, competence in science reached 361 points. These figures contrast notably with the global OECD averages, which stood at 461 points for reading and 463 for mathematics.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Mathematics: 91% of students did not reach the basic level of proficiency.<\/li><li>Reading: Only 23% of those evaluated managed to exceed the required basic level.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Dominican education needs to accelerate improvements and concentrate efforts on reading, comprehension, and mathematics, with policies that allow for constant measurement of what students are learning and which areas require greater attention.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Long-term perspective and next steps<\/h3>\n\n<p>Despite current challenges, the report offers an optimistic outlook by analyzing the country&#8217;s historical evolution.
