　文部科学省は３１日、小学６年と中学３年を対象に、４月に行った２０２３年度の全国学力・学習状況調査（全国学力テスト）の結果を公表した。４年ぶり２回目となる中３の英語では、「聞く」「読む」など４技能のうち「話す」について初めてオンライン方式で実施。平均正答率は１２．４％にとどまり、６３．１％が５問全て不正解だった。同省は「問題の場面設定が複雑で、生徒にとっては難しかったかもしれない」としている。

The average share of correct answers among Japanese junior high school third graders stood at 12.4 pct in the English-speaking test in this year's national achievement examinations, the education ministry said Monday.
   In the fiscal 2023 achievement exams, which took place in April, 63.1 pct of third-year junior high school students answered all five questions in the English-speaking test incorrectly.
   "The questions may have been difficult because their settings were complicated," the ministry said.
   The annual achievement exams were taken by a total of about 1.9 million junior high school third graders and elementary school sixth graders at 28,523 public and private schools across the country.
   The average share of correct answers among elementary school students came to 67.4 pct for the Japanese language test and 62.7 pct for the arithmetic test.
