Pacific Islands Literacy & Numeracy Assessment
2021 Regional Report
PILNA 2021 collected valuable insights about student performance as well as the experiences within, and environments of, Pacific education systems.
These regional findings are ordered into four sections and will be added to over time. Read on to understand the findings and what can be done to support literacy and numeracy in the Pacific.
Student performance
Understanding student performance in literacy and numeracy is key to understanding the performance of education systems and improving student performance over time.
This section reports the performance of year four and year six students in literacy and numeracy across the region. Findings are presented by subject (numeracy, reading, and writing) as well as by year level (year four performance and year six performance). Read on to discover whether students are meeting performance expectations in these areas.
Context behind student performance
Student performance is influenced by a wide range of factors. It is crucial that performance is looked at in its wider context so that it can be more meaningfully understood.
PILNA 2021 explores Pacific learning environments and the experiences and attitudes of students, teachers, and school leaders. These findings are also compared with student performance. Read on to understand these findings and the factors that are associated with student performance.
