"Discrete measure
In mathematics, more precisely in measure theory, a measure on the real line is called a discrete measure (in respect to the Lebesgue measure) if its support is at most a countable set. Note that the support need not be a discrete set. Geometrically, a discrete measure (on the real line, with respect to Lebesgue measure) is a collection of point masses."

1. the whole extract is about statistical treatment of data.
2. I posted later because I took the time to check what the words meant, which means that the translation is "mesures discrètes" and nothing else (if it is about statistics - I don't have the full context). You can't use approximate synonyms for mathematical expressions.

Discussion
It is of course a commonly-used mathematical term, as highlighted by F-X below, and with a quite specific translation in that sense; however, it may or may not be being used in that sense here — there must surely other clues in your wider document to indicate if it is the 'measurement' kind of measure, or the kind of measures that may be taken by the Government to improve education, for example.
