Grade 7 Reading performance by school locality
Three quarters of grade seven students are enrolled in schools in urban areas.
Figure CRF7.7 shows the average performance of grade seven students in reading by school locality. The students in urban schools achieved a slightly higher average score in the overall reading domain than did students in urban schools. There is no consistency when looking at previous cycles; in 2018, grade seven students in non-urban schools had a higher average score than those in urban schools, while in 2015 students in urban and non-urban schools had comparable average reading scores, Figure CRF7.8.
