Purpose of Feature

This report is used by school management and Departmental Heads to monitor academic standards and consistency. It allows for:

• Performance Benchmarking: Comparing subject averages across a grade.

• Assessment Auditing: Analyzing specific assessment types (e.g., Exam vs. SBA performance).

• Identifying Risk: Pinpointing subjects with high failure rates or missing data.

• Stream Tracking: Automatically separating statistics for different streams, such as Mainstream and LSEN, to ensure accurate reporting.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Define Basic Parameters

1. Year: Select the relevant academic year.

2. For Marks: Choose between displaying statistics as a Percentage or a Scale Mark (Level).

3. Term: Select the specific term to be analyzed.

2. Select Display Depth

Choose between two views based on the required level of detail:

• Summary: Provides a concise overview of subject averages and pass rates.

• Detail: Includes expanded information. If selected, additional checkboxes appear to:

  • Include the Top 10 Achievers per subject.

  • Identify Missing Marks to assist with data completion audits.

3. Select Grades and Generate

1. Move the relevant Grade(s) from the left column to the right using the arrows.

2. Click Generate Report.

System Behaviour

• Assessment Type Grouping: The system automatically categorizes statistics based on the assessment types defined in Step 2 of the Learning Programme Setup. If a subject uses SBA and PAT weightings, they will be reported in distinct columns.

• Stream Segregation: For schools with LSEN or multiple academic streams, the system calculates and displays grade averages separately to maintain data integrity for each stream.

• Real-time Refresh: Statistics are recalculated every time the report is generated, reflecting the most recent entries in the Mark Capture module.

Restrictions & Reasons

• Setup Dependency: If statistics for a specific assessment type (like PAT) are missing, it indicates that the subject was not configured with that assessment type in the Learning Programme.

  • Reason: The report structure is strictly governed by the academic hierarchy defined during initial setup.

• Accuracy of Averages: The report will include "0" values for uncaptured marks unless they are marked as "Absent" (a), which may skew averages.

  • Reason: This ensures administrators can clearly see where incomplete data is affecting the school's overall academic profile.
