Table 4 above shows a reduction in the number of schools that have performed below 20%. However,
it is still a concern that overall 33 schools in quintile 1 to 3 still perform below 20%. The concern is
equally noted on the number of schools in quintile 1 to 3 that perform below 50%, a total 198 schools
of the 223 schools that perform below 50%. It is interesting to note that there are 18 schools in
quintile 1 which obtained a 100% pass despite the challenges conditions they operate under. Overall
schools in quintile 1 to 3 have contributed 47 schools with 100% passes, which is 44.3% of the total
number of schools with 100%.
Figures 13 – 17 provides a breakdown of performance per quintile ranking of schools.
