ICC, intraclass correlation coefficient obtained by the latent variable method( 22 ); PCV, proportional change in variance( 23 , 24 ).

Empty model, without independent variables; model 1, contextual variables; model 2, individual variables; model 3, contextual and individual variables.

The school-level variance (se) was obtained using multilevel logistic regression of mixed effects (‘melogit’ command, Stata version 15).
