Aprender 2025 Shows Large Gain in Reading While Math Remains Weak

Officials say national literacy programs drove a 10.5‑point rise in Lengua and they are promising strengthened math policy as full disaggregated reports are still pending.

Overview

  • The national Aprender 2025 operation, administered on November 12, 2025, tested about 750,000 sixth‑grade students and recorded historic participation with 95% of schools and 84% of students taking the exam.
  • Lengua improved sharply to 76.9% of students at the satisfactory or advanced levels, a 10.5‑point increase versus 2023, and only 4.9% of students now fall below the basic level.
  • Mathematics remains a system challenge with about five of every ten students reaching satisfactory or advanced performance, continuing a decade‑long pattern of limited net progress.
  • The national government credits the Plan Nacional de Alfabetización and Escuelas Alfa for the reading gains and has pledged to reinforce math policies under a federal agreement reached in April 2026.
  • Several provinces published their own reports showing uneven but notable recoveries, with Mendoza and Salta above or near the national average, while full, disaggregated national and provincial datasets and concrete math implementation plans have yet to be released.
