Learning Deprivation Severity;PISA for grade 15Y using MPL Level 2 for science

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 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) assessments of the extent to which 15-year-old students can handle science adeptly when confronted with situations and problems, using Minimum proficiency level (MPL) 2 as the benchmark of basic knowledge.
