Figure CWF4.7 shows the average performance of these students by school locality. On average, the year four students in urban schools achieved higher scores in writing than did students in non-urban schools. This is similar to the 2018 and 2015 PILNA cycles, when students in urban schools also achieved higher scores (refer to Figure CWF4.8).
