The LaNA 2023 Linking Study is an international education assessment report that measures basic literacy and numeracy skills of primary school students. It was conducted in six countries: Pakistan, Egypt, Nigeria, Burkina Faso, Senegal, and the Palestinian National Authority. The goal was to evaluate student performance using easier versions of TIMSS and PIRLS assessments. In Pakistan, most students scored below the international average in both reading and math, though 71% reached the basic math level. Similar low performance trends were seen in Nigeria and Senegal, while Egypt and Palestine performed relatively better. The study supports progress tracking for UN education goals (SDG 4.1.1b).
