These tests also revealed a low level in science, but few talk about this, even though Catalan students' knowledge of biology, technology, and earth sciences is eight points below the Spanish average and that of OECD countries. In this same vein, the basic skills tests administered by the Generalitat (Catalan government) in sixth grade show that science receives the worst scores of all subjects. In the last year evaluated, 2025, science is the only subject with a failing grade. No other subject has such poor results. Catalan children know more English than physics or geology. </p>]]></description>
