Grade 7 Reading performance by school authority
Most grade seven students who participated in PILNA 2021 in Palau were enrolled in government schools; 83% were enrolled in government schools and 17% in non-government schools.
Figure CRF7.5 shows the average reading performance of grade seven students by school authority. In 2021, students in non-government schools (643) scored higher than students in government schools (597) in reading performance. As seen in Figure CRF7.6, this is similar to PILNA 2015 and PILNA 2018. Students in non-government schools have consistently scored higher than those in government schools over the past three PILNA cycles.
