Introduction

Why analyse O/L results?

The G.C.E. Ordinary Level examination is the turning point of a child's school life. Its results decide who moves on to Advanced Level, technical and vocational streams, or employment, and they are the clearest single measure of how well our schools are teaching.

Each year the Department of Examinations releases tens of thousands of individual results for Western Province candidates. This system brings them together so that education officers and principals can see, in a few clicks:

  • how the province, each zone and each division performed, and how that changed over the years;
  • which schools lead, which are improving and which need support;
  • which subjects, groups of students and types of school are falling behind.
