SACMEQ in Mozambique, grade 5, Mathematics (mean score) contains mean mathematics scores for fifth-grade students from Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality assessments. The Global Partnership for Education provides this data, which originates from major SACMEQ research projects conducted between 1995 and 2011. The dataset tracks educational quality outcomes over time for policy analysis.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in the mathematics mean score over the SACMEQ I, II, and III project periods (1995-2011).
- Benchmark Mozambique's grade 5 mathematics performance against other SACMEQ member countries using the reported mean score metric.
- Correlate changes in the mathematics mean score with specific education policies implemented during the assessment years.
- Model national or regional mathematics proficiency levels for grade 5 using the aggregated mean score data.
Strengths
- Data spans three major assessment projects (SACMEQ I, II, III) conducted from 1995 to 2011, providing a multi-year view.
- Focuses on a standardized metric (mean score) for a specific subject (mathematics) and grade level (5) for consistent comparison.
Limitations
- Dataset contains only aggregated mean scores, lacking individual student or school-level records for granular analysis.
- The most recent completed project (SACMEQ III) concluded in 2011, making the data over a decade old.
- Specific sample sizes (number of students, schools) and column details for Mozambique are unknown.
