Niger Student Mathematics Competency Assessment Trends

National assessment data tracks the percentage of students in Niger achieving minimal competency in mathematics. Results are reported by the country's Local Education Group, which determines the specific assessment definition and methodology. The dataset originates from the Global Partnership for Education.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in the percentage of students under minimal competency in mathematics over time.
• Correlate national assessment results with other education indicators like school funding or teacher ratios.
• Benchmark Niger's mathematics competency rates against regional or income-level peer countries.

Strengths

• Focuses on a standardized national assessment metric for consistent measurement.
• Data is reported by a formal Local Education Group, suggesting an official collection process.

Limitations

• Country-specific assessment methods limit direct international comparability.
• Sample size, row count, and temporal coverage are unknown.
• Lacks granular column-level data (e.g., by region, school type, gender).
