Learning Deprivation Gap;TIMSS for grade 9 using MPL Low (400 points) for science

Learning Deprivation Gap, that measures the average distance of a learning deprived child to the minimum proficiency level and indicates the average increase in learning required to eliminate learning deprivation. 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 science at 9th grade, using Minimum proficiency level (MPL) Low (400 points) as the benchmark of basic knowledge.
