Israeli teachers perform below their counterparts in other developed countries in literacy, numeracy and problem-solving, according to a new study released Wednesday by the Shoresh Institution for Socioeconomic Research. The study, conducted by researcher Yael Melzer, analyzed data from the OECD’s 2022-2023 Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC), comparing Israeli teachers with educators in 18 other countries. PIAAC measures adults’ ability to process information and handle everyday and workplace tasks; it does not directly assess teaching ability or classroom performance.
