Year 6 Numeracy performance by school locality
Roughly half the year six students in Tuvalu who had their performance analysed in the PILNA 2021 numeracy assessment were enrolled in urban schools: 53% in urban schools and 47% in non-urban schools.
Figure CNF6.6 shows the average performance of year six students by school locality. Year six students in non-urban schools scored higher than those in urban schools in the overall numeracy domain and across all four strands. The biggest differences were seen in the ‘Operations’ and ‘Data & Chance’ strands. This was consistent with the findings in PILNA 2018 but not PILNA 2015. In 2018, students in non-urban schools performed better than students in urban schools, but in 2015 there were no performance differences between these groups (Figure CNF6.6.1).
