Vietnam Grade 5 Reading Proficiency Assessment Scores

National assessment data from Vietnam measures the percentage of grade 5 students achieving a specific reading proficiency level. The dataset reports scores for students who can locate text in short, repetitive sentences without picture aids. It is provided by the Global Partnership for Education based on assessments conducted by the Local Education Group.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in the 'percentage of students at level' metric to evaluate the impact of national literacy programs over time.
• Benchmark regional or school-level performance using the reported proficiency score against national averages.
• Model factors influencing reading proficiency by correlating the assessment score with demographic or socioeconomic data from other sources.

Strengths

• Assessment focuses on a specific, defined reading skill level (Level 2: short, repetitive sentences).
• Data represents a national-scale assessment for an entire grade level (grade 5).

Limitations

• The dataset contains only an aggregated percentage metric, lacking individual student records or raw scores.
• Specific sample size, number of schools, and assessment years are not provided.
• Definition and methodology are country-specific, which may limit direct international comparability.
