Outcomes of our Saturday Tutoring project
/The program provides additional tutoring to grade six and nine students in the aim to increase the number of students who pass the national exam and can attend schools of excellence. A school of excellence provides marketable majors, better learning opportunities and the possibilities to go on to university.
Key outcomes and measures of success:
Overall pass rate rose from 73.1% last year to 91.8% to this year for grade six and from 70.9% last year to 73% this year for grade nine. Passing the national exam means one can go on to the next section (secondary school or major). Failing means, one has to retake the year, which most of the time results in school dropout. Number of students going to schools of excellence rose from 6 last year to 20 this year for grade six and from 71 last year to 78 this year for grade nine.
For the first time in history of the Duha School, four students achieved the perfect score. All these students were in the tutoring program. Students who didn’t participate in the program had an average score of 27% while those who participated had an average score of 52%. This means that the program increases the score by 25%.
