1995-2011 assessments provide mean mathematics scores for Grade 5 students in Zambia. The data originates from the Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ) projects I, II, and III. It is reported by the Global Partnership for Education via the World Bank platform.
Use Cases
- Analyzing trends in mean mathematics scores across SACMEQ I, II, and III project periods (1995-2011).
- Benchmarking Zambia's Grade 5 mathematics performance against other SACMEQ member countries using the reported mean score.
- Correlating changes in mean score with specific educational policy periods defined by the SACMEQ project cycles.
- Studying regional educational quality in Southern and Eastern Africa through the standardized SACMEQ assessment metric.
Strengths
- Data spans three major assessment cycles (SACMEQ I, II, III) over a 16-year period from 1995 to 2011.
- Provides a standardized, consortium-verified mean score metric for cross-country and temporal comparison.
Limitations
- Contains only aggregated mean scores, lacking individual student records or granular sub-skill data.
- Temporal coverage has gaps between major project cycles (e.g., between 2005 and 2007).
