Achievement Certificate (PSAC) to assess learners holistically. Assessment leading to PSAC

also comprises a School-Based assessment component consisting of two modular assessments

at the end of Grade 5 and at the beginning of third term of Grade 6.

In 2018, the number of school candidates who took part in PSAC assessment was

15,892. Excluding re-assessment, the overall percentage meeting PSAC requirement works

out to 75.2.

It is to be noted that the percentage meeting PSAC requirement, including re-assessed

school candidates, works out to 78.8. The performance of girls, including re-assessment

exceeded that of boys with respective pass rates of 84.5% and 73.2%

(Table 4.11 and Figure 4).

5. Secondary General and Pre-vocational Education

5.1 General and pre-vocational education

With the Nine-Year Continuous Basic Education, all children completing Grade 6 of
