This chart shows the average performance (%) per subject. The total number of students included in this analysis is 61 in 2017 of which 36 students passed and 25 failed. The average performance across both exams and all subjects is 39.7% for girls and a very similar average of 39.1% for boys.

The above charts used aggregated data for both the first and annual exams. Splitting the results out per exam results in an average score of 37.9% for the first exam and slightly higher score of 40.8% for the annual exam.

To compare these results to the students’ performance the year before, the results of grade 9 per subject have been added based on a total of 157 students in 2016. Across all subjects the average performance in grade 9 was 35.8% whereas in grade 10 the overall score is 39.4%. This means that on average students are doing better in grade 10 than in grade 9.

In contrast to grade 9, the performance in grade 10 on Gujarati and Sanskrit seems to be much higher than for the other subjects whereas in grade 9 the scores are more consistent across all subjects.

Furthermore, the gender differences seem to be more pronounced in grade 9 than in grade 10 resulting in relatively higher scores for girls across all subjects in grade 9 than in grade 10. Worth mentioning is the fact that the percentage of girls significantly dropped from 50% of girls in grade 9 to only 35% of girls in grade 10. This might be something to keep an eye on for future strategy development.
