Popis: Standardized assessments provide relevant information about the circumstances that influence student performance. Students living in rural or low-income areas tend to obtain lower scores. This desk-based research investigated Panama’s experience with census tests. The findings were that the country had not made significant progress in internal exams, while it is well below average in international exams. In conclusion, a crisis such as the one caused by COVID-19 may deepen the learning gaps and worsen the nation’s difficulties so far in these measures.
