MASERU — The Ministry of Education and Training has expressed disappointment at this year’s Primary School Leaving Examination results.
The results — which were released on December 2 — show a 1.7 percent drop in the overall performance of candidates compared to last year.
“It is disheartening to observe that this year has seen a drop in the general performance of candidates in comparison to the previous year,” the ministry said in a statement.
According to information from the ministry, of the 41 397 candidates who sat for the 2009 examinations 6 664 (16.1 percent) obtained a first-class pass.
“This shows a decrease of 1.7 percent in comparison with the 2008 results,” the ministry said.
A total 197 candidates managed first-class passes in all five subjects to obtain a Top 10 ranking.
Examinations Council of Lesotho deputy registrar Litsábako Ntoi said the aggregates for candidates who obtained the Top 10 ranking could not be released to the public “because they are confidential”.
However, the number one candidate in the Top 10 is Khesa Borotho from Leribe English Medium School in Hlotse.
“Borotho has outdone all the other candidates and, therefore, obtained first position on the Top 10 list,” Ntoi said.
A total 10 762 (26 percent) candidates obtained a second-class pass.
This, according to the ministry, indicated an increase of 2.9 percent compared to 2008.
A total 18 156 (43.9 percent) obtained a third-class pass, a decrease of 1.5% from the 2008 results.
A total 5 815 (14 percent) candidates failed to meet the minimum requirements for a pass.
This indicated a slight increase of 0.4 percent compared to 2008.
