Homogeneity test across educational levels (primary 61.4%, secondary 28.1%, university 10.5% of studies) under a fixed effects model. The Q-statistic of 0.388 fell below the critical value of 5.991, so "there are no significant differences in effect sizes" across levels; no effect size is printed for the contrast.

"In this study, since the Q-statistic (0.388) is smaller than the critical value of 5.991, the hypothesis of homogeneity of the distribution of effect sizes has been accepted according to fixed effects model. In other words, the distribution is homogeneous and there are no significant differences in effect sizes (QB=0.388; p=0.824) among different educational levels."
