Academic Value-Added Information - Calculation Method
- The calculation of academic value-added information is arrived by using statistical methods to produce estimates about the public examination results that students will score, which are then compared to the actual public examination results of these students; the comparison result reflects the relative effectiveness of the school in adding value to students’ academic performance, which can be above, on a par with or below expected performance.
- To reflect students’ academic performance more effectively, the calculation of value-added performance has taken into consideration factors related to academic performance, which include students’ academic ability on entry to Secondary 1, the average academic ability of all students in the school on entry to Secondary 1, the gender of students, all girls or all boys school and among others.
