Ethiopian national assessment data reports the percentage of grade 12 students achieving optimal competency in Mathematics. The Global Partnership for Education compiled results from assessments conducted by the Local Education Group. The dataset defines optimal competency as scores above 50%.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in the optimal_competency percentage across different assessment years for national performance monitoring.
- Correlate regional or school-level optimal_competency rates with other socioeconomic datasets to identify equity gaps.
- Model factors influencing student achievement by using the optimal_competency threshold as a binary target variable.
- Benchmark Mathematics learning outcomes in Ethiopia against similar national assessment data from other countries.
Strengths
- Data is derived from a formal national assessment for grade 12, providing an official performance measure.
- The metric uses a clear, defined threshold for optimal competency (scores above 50%).
Limitations
- The dataset lacks specific row counts, column details, and sample data, limiting analytical depth.
- Country-specific definitions and methods may reduce comparability with international assessments.
- Absence of last updated date and temporal coverage information prevents analysis of recent trends.
