DATA IDENTIFICATION
-
-
Name
-
Proportion of children and young people (a) in grades 2/3; (b) at the end of primary; and (c) at the end of lower secondary achieving at least a minimum proficiency level in (i) reading and (ii) mathematics
-
Indicator purpose
-
The indicator is a direct measure of the learning outcomes achieved in the two subject areas at the end of the relevant stages of education.
-
Abstract
-
Percentage of children and young people in Grade 2 or 3 of primary education, at the end of primary education and the end of lower secondary education achieving at least a minimum proficiency level in (a) reading and (b) mathematics. The minimum proficiency level will be measured relative to new common reading and mathematics scales currently in development.

Other characteristics
-
The minimum proficiency level will be measured relative to new common reading and mathematics scales currently in development.
Minimum proficiency level is the benchmark of basic knowledge in a domain (mathematics or reading) measured through learning assessments. Currently, there are no common standards validated by the international community or countries.

-
Key statistical concepts
-
The indicator is calculated as the percentage of children and/or young people at the relevant stage of education achieving or exceeding a pre-defined proficiency level in a given subject.
Performance above the minimum level, PLtn, s, above minimum = p
where p is the percentage of students in a learning assessment at stage of education n, in subject s in any year (t-i) where 0 ≤ i ≤ 5, who has achieved the level of proficiency that is greater than a pre-defined minimum standard, Smin. The minimum standard is defined by the global education community taking into consideration regional differences.

OTHER ASPECTS
-
-
Recommended uses
-
- To measure students’ knowledge and understanding in the specific subject area at the end of the specified level of education
- To ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning.
-
Limitations
-
One limitation to collecting data for this indicator is that finding funding to develop and administer diagnostic tests is difficult.
