Minimum proficiency in maths in grade 2 or 3
Indicator Name
Indicator ID in PRIME
Definition
This indicator measures the percentage of children and/or young people at the relevant stage of education achieving or exceeding a pre-defined proficiency level in maths.
Please use the MEAL PIRS to specify the grade or program level chosen, the tools used and where possible the thresholds (for example % score) appropriate for the relevant level.
Numerator
Number of children in the project closely supported by Save the Children or partner who meet the predefined standard.
Denominator
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.
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.
