A consistent and statistically significant inverse relationship is revealed for transition rates at all points investigated and the basic mathematical ability of sample populations tested, and apparently residual effects of transition rates operating at cohorts' time of entry to junior secondary level are evident. Results are discussed with reference to the educational policies of the countries involved in the study.
