Mean performance of Year 4 students in reading by school locality, Tonga, PILNA 2021

Figure CRF4.7 shows the average reading performance of year four students by school locality. Those in urban schools achieved higher results than those in non-urban schools. This is similar to the 2018 and 2015 PILNA cycles, but the score difference in 2021 was about half the score difference in 2018 (see Figure CRF4.8).
