Figure CRF4.5 shows the average performance of year four students by school authority. Students in non-government schools scored higher in reading than those in government schools. This is similar to the 2018 and 2015 PILNA cycles, when year four students in non-government schools also scored slightly higher than those in government schools (Figure CRF4.6).
