Description
Summary:The July 2021 release of learning poverty estimates involves several changes to the data underlying the country-level learning poverty figures. This document provides details of the key changes made. Some country-level estimates have changed or become available for the first time due to new data from recent assessments: TIMSS 2019, PASEC 2019, and SEA-PLM 2019. In cases where new assessment data call for a change to the learning poverty estimates, the corresponding enrollment data used for learning poverty calculations have also been updated so that the enrollment year is as close as possible to the assessment year, depending on data availability. In the latest release, country-level estimates of learning poverty are available for 120 countries.
