Type: dissertation
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: After the commitment made to Education for All (EFA) in 1990, Nepal has made substantial progress in expanding educational opportunities, which can be demonstrated with the fact that net enrolment ratio (NER) at primary level increased from 67% in 1990 to 95% in 2012 (DOE, 2012).However, improving quality of education which is generally measured by higher test scores in examinations (Chapman et al., 2005) is a daunting challenge.Many children leave school without developing their potential and acquiring basic skills which are necessary for raising their standards of livings and the knowledge needed to effectively function in society.More importantly, systematic measurements of learning achievements of internationally acceptable standards are still absent.However, Nepal has carried out national assessments at regular intervals.With the given problem of statement above, this study first examines the factors affecting the quality of education with a specific focus on learning achievement in mathematics.It particularly examines the effects of family characteristics, student characteristics, parental involvement, and school characteristics on learning achievement in mathematics of eighth grade students in Nepal.Second, this study analyzes the mathematics test focusing on its areas of 報告番号 ※
