Abstract:The cognitive level is measured in the PISA tests that are carried out every 3 years in the countries associated with the OECD. Ecuador participated for the first time in 2017 in these tests. It is proposed to adjust a mathematical model based on linear regression of multiple variables involving previously investigated factors that have a relationship with the average cognitive level of a country. The factors used are: level of education of parents, minimum wage, fertility rate, infant mortality, access to early education, unemployment rate, government expenditure on education and teenage pregnancy. With the results obtained, it is analyzed which factors have the most influence to give general guidelines where one must work to increase the level of education in Ecuador. | ||
