Advocates for educational reform in Catalonia emphasize the need for increased investment and improved teacher quality to address the systemic issues highlighted by the recent PISA assessment. The OECD's recommendation to raise teacher salaries aims to attract better-qualified educators, which supporters argue is essential for enhancing student outcomes. They contend that without addressing these foundational issues, efforts to improve academic performance will be ineffective.
Proponents also highlight the importance of equitable resource distribution to ensure all students have access to quality education. They argue that systemic inequalities must be addressed to create an environment where all students can succeed. By focusing on these areas, supporters believe Catalonia can reverse the current decline in educational performance and build a more robust education system.
