Learning Poverty definition
Learning Poverty means being unable to read and understand a short, age-appropriate text by age 10. This indicator brings together schooling and learning. It starts with the share of children who haven’t achieved minimum reading proficiency and adjusts it by the proportion of children who are out of school (“Cameroon Learning Poverty Brief,” The World Bank, Oct. 2019).
