Recommended Means of Verification
Measuring this indicator requires using the Early Grade Math Assessment (EGMA) or Numeracy Boost Assessment guidance. To measure this indicator, divide the number of children and/or young people in grade 2 or 3 who have achieved at least the minimum proficiency level in maths by the total number of children and/or young people in grades 2 and 3. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
