Teach For Armenia founder and CEO Larisa Hovannisian said in a statement issued on the PISA 2025 results that they have finally provided data on an issue that the organization’s teachers have been raising for years.
Founded in 2013, the participants in Teach For Armenia’s two-year program, known as Teacher-Leaders, are recruited and trained before spending two years teaching full-time in Armenia’s public schools, particularly in communities where educational opportunities are more limited. According to the organization, its network today includes around 500 Alumni-Ambassadors across Armenia’s 10 regions.
According to Larisa Hovannisian, teachers working directly with 60,000 students in Armenia’s public schools have seen children who can read a sentence but cannot say what it means. “We called it what it is: functional illiteracy,” Hovannisian wrote in her statement.
In Armenia, only 19% of 15-year-olds reached the baseline level of proficiency in reading in PISA 2025. The figure was 28% in mathematics and 28% in science. The results of Armenia’s first participation in PISA were published last week.
According to Larisa Hovannisian, Teach For Armenia has spoken about this issue in classrooms, reports, and discussions on education policy, but the same fair question has been raised every time: “What is your data?”
“Now we have it,” she wrote.
