The indicator referes to the participation in the International Large Scale Assesment called 'Estudio Regional Comparativo y Explicativo' and its predecessors. The ERCE is UNESCO’s Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study. It is a large scale assessment that tests primary students from all over Latin America in reading, mathematics and science. The tests are designed to measure learning achievement, and study them in relation to characteristics of the students, their families, their teachers and their schools. ERCE is administered by the LLECE, which is UNESCO ´s Latin American Laboratory for the Assesment of the Quality of Education located in the Regional Bureau for Education in Santiago, Chile.

Coding rules

Participation in one of the studies is coded with 1. There have been three studies to date: ERCE, SERCE and TERCE. All are combined in this indicator. If only a part of the mentioned country took part, we still code it as the larger entity. For example for participation y Dubai, we code the United Arab Emirates.
