Coverage rates for mathematics proficiency at Level 2 in private schools, used in calculating the Human Opportunities Index. The data originates from the LAC Equity Lab at the World Bank. The dataset focuses on childhood access to educational opportunities.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between private school attendance and mathematics proficiency coverage rates.
- Compare coverage rates for the 'Mathematics Proficiency Level 2' opportunity across different regions or countries.
- Use the coverage rate metric as a dependent variable in models assessing educational opportunity determinants.
Strengths
- Data is derived from a standardized metric (Human Opportunities Index coverage rate) for cross-country comparison.
- Produced by an authoritative source, the World Bank's LAC Equity Lab.
Limitations
- Sample size and temporal coverage are unknown.
- The coverage rate metric does not account for inequality of access between different circumstance groups.
- Limited to private schools and a specific mathematics proficiency level.
