Number of children enrolled in the project who participated in the assessment; Please use MEAL PIRS to state the total number of children registered in the project(s). If a sample learning assessment survey was used please use MEAL PIRS under Source of Data to show sampling method, sample size, confidence level, confidence interval, size of target population and the effect size where a comparison group was also assessed.
Recommended Means of Verification
Measuring this indicator requires using the Early Grade Reading Assessment (EGRA) or the Literacy Boost Assessment guidance.
To measure this indicator, divide the number of children and/or young people in grades 2 and 3 who have achieved at least the minimum proficiency level in reading 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.
