Education and learning: preliminary findings from the round 5 survey in Peru

Report

This fact sheet presents findings from the fifth round of the Young Lives survey in Peru in 2016. Young Lives has followed two cohorts of children born seven years apart. This fact sheet gives a snapshot of key education indicators for 15-year-olds in 2016 (Younger Cohort) and compares that to the data for 15-year-olds in 2009 (Older Cohort) to show changes in the context of education over that seven-year period. According to Young Lives data, the indicators of educational achievement of the Younger Cohort are better than for the Older Cohort across all five survey rounds (since 2002). The improvement in educational performance between the two cohorts is clear in patterns of enrolment, over-age and dropout rates, and performance in tests of vocabulary, reading and mathematics. Still, there are large differences between children of different socio-economic backgrounds.
