Analysis of performance on the learning achievement test by school type (private/public) indicates that pupils in private schools out performed pupils in public schools in all three subjects and sub-test.
The mean percent scores on the literacy, numeracy and life skills tests were 40.8 (SD 23.6), 43.1 (SD 19.5) and 43.1 (SD 18.8) respectively for private schools; while the mean percent scores for the public schools for literacy, numeracy and life skills tests were 22.2 (SD 15.3), 30.1 (SD15.7) and 30.6 (SD 15) respectively.
When performances were analysed on the basis of content areas pupils in the urban schools performed better in all the sub-tests than the pupils in the rural schools. However the trend of performance by pupils on the content areas in both urban and rural schools were similar in all the three tests (literacy, numeracy and life skills). On the literacy test performance decreased in the order: reading and comprehension (44.3 percent), writing (34.5 percent), lexis and structure (22.0 percent) in the urban schools. The trend of performance followed the same order in the rural schools: Reading and comprehension (35.5 percent), writing (28.6 percent) and lexis and structure (15.6 percent).
