The Southern and Eastern Africa Consortium for Monitoring Educational Quality (SACMEQ) is a network of ministries of education in the region, formed in the 1990s, that conducts large-scale assessments of reading and mathematics achievement among grade six pupils. Its assessments also collect data on the conditions of schooling and on pupil, teacher and school-head characteristics, and are used by member governments to inform education policy and planning across Southern and Eastern Africa.
