Resource constraints
Students attending schools with resource constraints
Table SLT3.1 shows the percentage of students from PILNA 2021 who had a school leader indicate that their school was experiencing resource constraint ‘To a large extent’ or ‘To a moderate extent’. Note that responses indicating ‘To a small extent’ and ‘Not at all’ were left out.
What does this mean?
Together, these findings show a theme of insufficient or inadequate resourcing in a substantial number of schools. This is consistent across infrastructure, instruction materials, and teacher availability, although school infrastructure was the most widespread challenge.
