More than 8 in 10 grade seven students are enrolled in government schools.  Figure CRF7.5 shows the average reading performance of grade seven students by school authority.  Students in non-government schools showed higher performance in the overall reading domain than those enrolled in government schools.  Figure CRF7.6 compares the average reading scores of grade seven students in non-government and government schools from 2015 to 2021.  It shows that grade seven students in non-government schools achieved higher averages in the previous two cycles and that the gap between the performance of students in non-government and government schools has continued to widen over the three cycles.
