7. Focus on Grade 10
This paragraph will provide additional and more in-depth information on the performance of students in grade 10.
Although the number of data points is limited, there does seem to be a positive correlation between the average attendance (%) and the average performance (%) of students in grade 10. This means that a higher attendance is associated with a higher performance. This holds true for both girls and boys. The effect is not significant (p = 0.12) but is going in the right direction.
Since there seems to be a clear link between attendance and performance in both the grade 10 data and the aggregated data for all grades, it is suggested to increase the number of schooling hours for all students and to put in extra effort to get non- attending students to come to class.
