11 P3 versus P6

12 Absenteeism Rate A survey was conducted in August 2005 on absenteeism rates in primary schools by the HKEAA. The figures showed that the average daily absenteeism rate in the month of June was 1.5% but that the average absenteeism rate on the two days was 1.8%. A total of 58 schools were found to have absenteeism rates of 5% or more for P.3 written assessments, while 50 schools were found to have absenteeism rates of 5% or more for P.6 written assessments.

13 Absenteeism Rate Based on a worst-case scenario in which all absences over 1.5% were of students who would have failed to achieve basic competency The maximum distortion in the territory-wide estimates of the percent meeting the standard – around 0.3% for P.6 and around 0.6% for P.3.

14 Absenteeism Rate Schools with absenteeism rates of 5% or more may not truly reflect the percentages had they been in full attendance. Hence, these results are not recommended as the sole indicators for the development of learning and teaching programme.

15 Confidentiality EMB and HKEAA will maintain confidentiality of individual schools’ results at all times. School results are for school improvement purposes. Schools will be able to access their own results electronically via the internet, using confidentiality protocols.
