DOI: https://doi.org/10.25828/ah42-xw77 Early Foundational Learning Reading Assessment Numeracy Assessment Learning Proficiency The study had national coverage of the countries covered. Assessments were conducted in Africa (Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Senegal, Tanzania and Uganda); Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, and Pakistan); and Americas (Mexico and Nicaragua). The lowest level of geographic aggregation in the data is anonymised village Households and their individuals The universe of the study was households with children aged 5 - 16 years old. Sample survey data [ssd] Cross-section [cross section] The survey used a multi-stage, stratified probability sampling design to produce nationally representative estimates for children aged 5-16 years, including both in-school and out-of-school children. In the first stage, Enumeration Areas (EAs) were selected as the primary sampling units (PSUs) from the national sampling frame using probability proportional to size (PPS). The sample was stratified by geographic area and urban/rural residence. In the second stage, 20 households were selected in each sampled EA. Where a household list was available, the list was updated and households were selected systematically. Where no list was available, a spatial selection approach was used, including the 5th household rule; in Mexico, every 3rd household was selected because of higher nonresponse. Only households with at least one child aged 5-16 years were eligible. The planned sample size was 222 EAs per country and approximately 4,440 households per country. More information is provided in the documentation for the dataset. Face-to-face computer-assisted interviews [CAPI] DataFirst used R software to apply labels to all variables and their associated value categories. The data was reviewed for direct identifiers and other confidential information, including respondents’ names, phone numbers, addresses, and similar sensitive fields. Variable value ranges were checked for consistency and validity. DataFirst also verified the completeness of the data file by cross-checking it against the questionnaire. Variable data types were converted where necessary to ensure that each variable was stored in the correct format. The data file was renamed according to a consistent naming convention to make its contents easier for researchers to identify. The final cleaned data file was saved in Stata format.
