A student’s wealth quintile represents that of the population and is defined using data from either the latest DHS or MICS household survey wealth index. Both PASEC and the household surveys contain common data about household characteristics. The relationship between these household characteristics and the household survey wealth index is used to estimate but only 25 percent of 6th grade children achieve the household survey’s wealth index for each PASEC student. Quintiles are defined based on the cut-offs used in the household survey to produce nationally defined wealth quintiles. minimum competency in both PASEC math and Girls from the 2 13 reading. This means that an estimated 15 percent poorest 40% of children overall are completing primary with What is sufficient competency? Children who have sufficient competency in 6th grade mathematics are able to perform arithmetic involving decimals and identify a basic mathematical procedure needed to solve a problem. In 6th grade reading, they are able to understand explicit information orally and understand the meaning sufficient competency. 13 percent of girls from the 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 of many printed words.

The PASEC 2014 international student assessment provides its 10 participating countries with internationally comparable measures of student proficiency in 2nd and 6th grade reading and mathematics. For the first time, participating countries can benchmark their student achievement to an internationally defined sufficient competency. This information is crucial for promoting the World Bank’s results agenda systems approach for education in its 2010-2020 Education Sector Strategy. Learning outcomes are a true measure of results of an education system—while enrolment in school is an important indicator, the cognitive and non-cognitive skills obtained in school are what matter most for human capital Wealth quintile composition of 6th grade students The poorest are underrepresented among and subsequent productivity and poverty reduction. The Francophone Africa Education Results Monitor provides a snapshot of an education achieving sufficient competency in math and reading 6th grade students attaining sufficient system’s ability to educate its children, its ability to promote poverty reduction by including the poorest in learning, and its ability to educate its Cote D’Ivoire competency in both PASEC math and poorest girls.

Demographic and Health Surveys: Data on school participation and wealth quintiles are based on the latest Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) for each country. DHS are nationally representative household surveys that measure social outcomes including education for individuals. These surveys provide a nationally representative measure of household wealth which are replicated using data on matching questionnaire items in PASEC 2014. Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey: The Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey is used in place of DHS for Chad as the survey data is newer. http://www.worldbank.org/en/region/afr http://www.worldbank.org/en/region/afr Cote D’Ivoire Francophone Africa Results Monitor | Basic Education Which groups face the biggest Percent of 6th grade students attaining sufficient competency Are children completing Percent of children completing primary school with sufficient gaps in learning outcomes? in both math and language by gender, school location and primary school with sufficient competency in PASEC mathematics and reading Disparity in learning achievement school governance competency? 100 tends to be relatively small in Cote 100 Only 15 percent of children complete d’Ivoire as learning outcomes are primary with sufficient competency in both PASEC mathematics and reading. 75 77 low across most sub-populations. 75 71 73 73 Notable differences emerge between This places Cote d’Ivoire 8th among 62 60 58 61 public and private schools and 50 46 PASEC countries. 50 36 49 between urban and rural areas. 27 35 25 22 22 25 34 32 14 28 25 25 23 18 15 0 0 Females Males Urban Rural Public Private 1.
