This is the place for discussing the potential collapse of modern civilization and the environment.

Collapse, in this context, refers to the significant loss of an established level or complexity towards a much simpler state. It can occur differently within many areas, orderly or chaotically, and be willing or unwilling. It does not necessarily imply human extinction or a singular, global event. Although, the longer the duration, the more it resembles a ‘decline’ instead of collapse.

Student performance has been on a declining trend for 10 years. Student scores have dropped significantly in the past 5 years, losing almost the equivalent of a year of schooling. Over 60% of 15 year olds are falling behind in 18 countries.

Probably cell phones

They specifically think they ruled out factors like technology, covid and support for the teachers, because different countries isolated for those variables.

I read a lot of the report, but not all. I think technology is a factor in decline. Small amount of access is beneficial, but deteriorates as usage goes up. I've seen similar data in Canada's testing/surveys
