Learning Deprivation Severity;TIMSS for grade 9 using MPL Low (400 points) for math

Learning Deprivation Severity captures the inequality of learning among the learning deprived population and is the gap squared in relation to the minimum proficiency squared. This indicator is calculated based on the data from International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement's (IEA) TIMSS (Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study) assessments on the skills in mathematics at 9th grade, using Minimum proficiency level (MPL) Low (400 points) as the benchmark of basic knowledge.
