Rosetta Stone policy brief: establishing a concordance between regional (ERCE and PASEC) and international (TIMSS/PIRLS) assessments

This document presents an executive summary of the first results of the Rosetta Stone Study, consisting of the establishment of a concordance table that projects the score distributions estimated from two regional assessments to distributions on TIMSS and PIRLS. These assessments are UNESCO’s Regional Comparative and Explanatory Study (ERCE; Estudio Regional Comparativo y Explicativo) in Latin America and Caribbean countries and the Programme for the Analysis of Education Systems (PASEC; Programme d’Analyse des Systèmes Éducatifs de la CONFEMEN) in francophone sub-Saharan African countries.
