OECD Publishes PISA Analysis of Generative AI Use in Classrooms
OECD Director for Education and Skills Andreas Schleicher wrote on 13 October 2026 that PISA data show AI chatbots are now routinely used for schoolwork in many countries. In Macao (China), Thailand, the Philippines, 17 of 27 Ukrainian regions, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, Singapore, Mongolia and the United Arab Emirates, more than 40% of students use AI to draft texts for writing assignments once or twice a week or daily; in Viet Nam the share reaches 52%. Students who report using AI chatbots score about 20 points lower in science on average, though the article states this does not necessarily represent a causal relationship.
