The 2026 Provas de Monitorização das Aprendizagens (MoDA) show negative results in Portuguese text production for 6th graders, with an average score of 47.9 out of 100. However, there were slight improvements in writing skills, with 4th graders scoring an average of 50 points, up from 47.4. Mathematics scores also improved slightly for both grades, with 4th graders averaging 52.5 points and 6th graders 52.3 points.
