Figure CWF5.5 shows the average performance of grade five students by school authority.  Students in non-government schools scored higher, on average, in the overall writing domain than those enrolled in government schools. This is a reversal of previous PILNA cycles, where the average score of students in government schools was higher than those in non-government schools. In 2021, both groups’ average reading scores were higher than in 2018, but the increase was much higher for non-government school students than for those in government schools, Figure CWF5.6.
