The report focuses on the analysis of the changes in results of TIMSS and PIRLS between 2003 and 2011, the most recent available data, and the period when the largest improvements in performance took place. Additionally, the report analyses the difference in performance between the wealthier 50 per cent and the poorer 50 per cent in 2011, as an effort to understand the role of equity in performance improvements. The data being used is the score in math and science of students in 4th and 8th grade and the score in language in 4th grade. The scores are analyzed together with the characteristics of students, teachers and their schools.
