| dc.description.abstract | Learning Poverty in Belize is 25.6 percentage points higher than the average for the Latin America and Caribbean region and 44.1 percentage points higher than the average for upper middle income countries. As in most countries, Learning Poverty is higher for boys than for girls in Belize. This result is a composition of two effects. First, the share of out-of-school children is lower for boys (6.3%) than for girls (6.7%). Second, boys are less likely to achieve minimum proficiency at the end of primary school (78.2%) than girls (71.5%) in Belize. | |
