Basic Education Development Index (IDEB)

The Basic Education Development Index (IDEB) is a measure used in Brazil to assess the quality and progress of elementary education. It combines data on student enrollment, progression between grades, and learning outcomes, such as test scores, to provide an overall score. Higher IDEB scores indicate better educational development, reflecting how well students are advancing academically and completing their studies successfully. The index helps policymakers identify areas needing improvement and track progress over time, aiming to enhance education quality and ensure students effectively acquire essential skills.
