Abstract
The July 2021 release of learning
poverty estimates involves several changes to the data
underlying the country-level learning poverty figures. This
document provides details of the key changes made. Some
country-level estimates have changed or become available for
the first time due to new data from recent assessments:
TIMSS 2019, PASEC 2019, and SEA-PLM 2019. In cases where new
assessment data call for a change to the learning poverty
estimates, the corresponding enrollment data used for
learning poverty calculations have also been updated so that
the enrollment year is as close as possible to the
assessment year, depending on data availability. In the
latest release, country-level estimates of learning poverty
are available for 120 countries.
