The June 2022 release of Learning Poverty estimates involves several changes to the data underlying the country-level Learning Poverty figures. This repository document the code used. Some country-level estimates have changed or become available for the first time due to new learning data from recent assessments: AMPL-b 2021, TIMSS 2019, LLECE 2019, PASEC 2019, and SEA-PLM 2019. In cases where new assessment data call for a change to the Learning Poverty estimates, the corresponding enrollment data used for Learning Poverty calculations have also been updated so that the enrollment year is as close as possible to the assessment year, depending on data availability. In some cases, enrollment data has been changed due to the availability of better data, even if there is no change in learning assessment results for the country. In the June 2022 release, country-level estimates of Learning Poverty are available for 122 countries. A new global aggregate was also created, and the accompanying Global Learning Poverty Database includes the measures of GAP and SEVERITY for both Learning Deprivation and Learning Poverty, as introduced by Azevedo (2020).

The main messages of this update were part of the "The State of Global Learning Poverty: 2022 Update", a new joint publication of the World Bank, UNICEF, FCDO, USAID, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and in partnership with UNESCO, stresses that even before the pandemic, there was already a learning crisis.

The numbers of this update are also the baseline scenario of learning loss simulations presented in Azevedo, João Pedro; Akmal, Maryam; Cloutier, Marie-Helene; Rogers, Halsey; Wong, Yi Ning. 2022. Learning Losses during COVID-19: Global Estimates of an Invisible and Unequal Crisis. Policy Research Working Papers;10218.
