- 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.

- Percentage (%)
- 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.
- Classification used
- (a) in grades 2/3 (Infant 2 & Standard I)
(b) at the end of primary; PSE
(c) at the end of lower secondary (Form 2)
Achieving at least a minimum proficiency level in (i) reading and (ii) mathematics (minimum proficiency level need to be define base on the diagnostic test develop)
- Disaggregation
- is by age or age-group of students, sex, location.
- 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.
- 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.
