Issue #1: Progress in primary school enrolment in Shangombo

Since 2005 in Shangombo:

The Net Intake Rate is the percentage of seven-year olds who enter school for the first time. It gives us an idea of how many 7-year olds are entering school and how many are not. A higher NIR means more seven year olds are entering school on time.

What is observed and why is it happening? What action is required?

This graph shows the percentage of new school entrants who are on-time (age 7), overage (older than 7) and underage (younger than 7). A high percentage of overage entrants means a lower NIR, but is acceptable because it means that older children are receiving an education. Once all the older children have been cycled through school, the percentage of overage entrants should decrease and the percentage of on time entrants should increase. If underage pupils are entering in large percentages, they are taking spaces from older pupils.

ISSUE #3: Are children learning?


How do children perform on the Grade 7 exam?

The Grade 7 Exam is designed to measure individual students' learning levels at the end of grade 7. Exams are a common measure of learning, though critics argue that students with a high knowledge level could perform poorly if they are not good at taking tests. Exam scores are tabulated according to wher the test is taken rather than where a pupil attends school. For example, if a community school pupil travels to a government school to take the exam, then their score is recorded as a government school score. Because of this, the Urb./Rur and Comm./Govt. scores i n the graph may not reflect learning levels properly. Not all grade 7 pupils sit for the exam, which means that exam scores may not be representative of the learning level of all grade 7 pupils. If high achieving pupils take the exam and low achieving pupils avoid it, then the average scores represent the learning level of high achievers more than that of low achievers.

The average Grade 7 exam score in Shangombo :

Is 4 points higher than the national average.

Is 593 points higher in rural schools than in urban schools.

Is 3 points longer in community schools than in government schools.
