Year 4 Writing performance by school authority over time

Mean performance of Year 4 students in writing by school authority, Tonga, PILNA 2015, 2018 and 2021

Figure CWF4.5 shows the average performance of these students by school authority. Students in government schools scored about the same in writing as those in non-government schools and this was the case also in 2018 and 2015 (see Figure CWF4.6) Further statistical testing needs to be done to understand if differences in scores are significant or the result of chance or outliers.
