Murray Trust First National Bank DataFirst Support Site Child Assessment Survey v1: Edited, anonymised data for public distribution Early child development Early learning South Africa The assessment was undertaken in schools in the , Eastern Cap,e KwaZulu-Natal, North West, and Western Cape provinces of South Africa. The lowest level of geographic aggregation in the data is district municipality. Individuals and institutions The assessment focused on children between the ages of 49-69 months in the selected schools. Other The dataset includes data on the child's school: School setting (province, rural/urban, traditional), school quintile, and school name. Data on each child includes the child's age, home language, height, and child performance scores collected using the Early Learning Outcomes Measure (ELOM) set of tools. Innovation Edge Other [oth] Data was collected using the Early Learning Outcomes Measure (ELOM) tool which includes the following components: ELOM Direct Assessment Kit, ELOM Direct Assessment Kit list, ELOM Direct Assessment Manual, ELOM Technical Manual, ELOM Scoring Sheet, Open source online protocol for tablet/phone-based scoring and data capture, ELOM Teacher Assessment of the Child. Ideally data should have been collected in January/February 2019, at the start of the Grade R year and before children are exposed to the Grade R curriculum. However, final sign-off from the sponsor was only obtained at the end of February 2019. This delayed the start of the data collection process and children who participated in this study had already been exposed to one full term of Grade R. This is likely to have influenced child outcomes. A similar set of data was collected by Innovation Edge for the standardisation of ELOM in 2016. However, it is not advised that researchers compare results from the 2016 dataset with the 2019 data. The 2016 sample has no Grade R exposure. In all cases where performance is interpreted in 2019, this must be interpreted as the performance of children after receiving approximately 1 to 1.5 terms of Grade R (although recent evidence indicates that only children in Quintiles 4 and 5 schools benefit from their Grade R year).
