This graph shows the percentage of new school entrantswho are on-time (age 7), overage (older than 7) andunderage (younger than 7). A high percentage of overageentrants means a lower NIR, but is acceptable because itmeans that older children are receiving an education. Once allthe older children have been cycled through school, thepercentage of overage entrants should decrease and thepercentage of on time entrants should increase. If underagepupils are entering in large percentages, they are takingspaces from older pupils.

ISSUE #3: Are children learning?

How do children perform on the Grade 7 exam?
The Grade 7 Exam is designed to measure individual students' learning levelsat the end of grade 7. Exams are a common measure of learning, thoughcritics argue that students with a high knowledge level could perform poorly ifthey are not good at taking tests.
Exam scores are tabulated according to wher the test is taken rather thanwhere a pupil attends school. For example, if a community school pupil travelsto a government school to take the exam, then their score is recorded as agovernment school score. Because of this, the Urb./Rur and Comm./Govt.scores i n the graph may not reflect learning levels properly.
Not all grade 7 pupils sit for the exam, which means that exam scores may notbe representative of the learning level of all grade 7 pupils. If high achievingpupils take the exam and low achieving pupils avoid it, then the average scoresrepresent the learning level of high achievers more than that of low achievers.
The average Grade 7 exam score in Kalabo :
Is 2 points higher than the national average.
Is 32 points lower in rural schools than in urban schools.
Is 591 points shorter in community schools than in government schools.
