Year 4 Numeracy performance by school locality
More than half of the year four students in Tuvalu who had their performance analysed in the PILNA 2021 numeracy assessment were enrolled in urban schools: 60% in urban schools and 40% in non-urban schools.
Figure CNF4.6 shows the average performance of year four students by school locality. Year four students in non-urban schools scored higher than those in urban schools in the overall numeracy domain and across all four strands. The biggest difference was observed in the ‘Operations & Data’ strand. This was consistent with the findings in PILNA 2018 but not PILNA 2015 (Figure CNF4.6.1). In 2018, students from non-urban schools performed better than students from urban schools, but in 2015 there were no differences between these groups.
