Mauritanian Grade 5 Mathematics Performance Scores from PASEC

Mauritania's mean mathematics score for grade 5 students, as measured by the Programme on the Analysis of Education Systems (PASEC). The data is produced by the Global Partnership for Education based on assessments conducted by the country's Local Education Group. PASEC is an international study established in 1991 by the Conference of Ministers of Education of Francophone countries.

Use Cases

• Benchmark Mauritania's mean_score against other Francophone countries in the PASEC study.
• Analyze trends in mathematics performance over time using the year and mean_score fields.
• Model the relationship between national education policies and the reported mean_score.
• Correlate PASEC mean_score with other national development indicators like GDP or education expenditure.

Strengths

• Data originates from a standardized international assessment program (PASEC) established in 1991.
• Provides a specific, comparable metric (mean_score) for a defined grade and subject.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to a single country (Mauritania), grade (5), and subject (Mathematics).
• Unknown sample size and row count for the underlying student assessment data.
• Lack of column details prevents analysis of disaggregated factors like gender, region, or school type.
