SCHOOL’S REPORT <strong>2012</strong> NATIONAL SENIOR CERTIFICATE (<strong>NSC</strong>) EXAMINATION<br />

5.7 Learner Performance by Quintiles<br />

Figure 14 shows the performance of quintiles 1, 3 and 5 across Grades 1-6 and 9 in Mathematics.<br />

Figure 14: Quintiles 1, 3 and 5 performances across grades: Mathematics<br />

In Figure 14 the quintile 5 (well resourced) schools performed better than quintile 3 (average<br />

resourced) schools and quintile 1 (poorly resourced) schools. It is of interest for further investigation<br />

to note that in most grades learners in quintile 1 and 3 schools performed at almost the same<br />

level and quintile 1 schools performed better than quintile 3 in grades 3 and 9 in Mathematics. The<br />

performance of quintile 5 learners in Mathematics (20%) does not match the resources that these<br />

schools have.<br />
