Germany: shock

Cyprus: anger

None had any discourse around what the PISA scores measure and if there's any problematisation warranted around the methodology etc. So, in the end, it just serves as a regular outrage topic for the news cycle, but because no-one understands what the scores mean, no-one can do anything about them.

Germany: shock

Eh, I'd rather say: Sighing acceptance. Everything is turning to shit here, infrastructure ages, new stuff gets stuck in planning hell, people elect nazis, a significant part of the population turns their back towards science, inflation lowers effective incomes, printing out a filled out PDF form is the epitome of digitalization. Of course the school system sucks as well, it fits the image. We're fucked.

And most people would happily vote the party back into power that created that shitshow by doing absolutely nothing for 16 years.

For the people that care. The majority is happy voting against any progress and to just complain about kids these days being stupid or something.
