BGCSE 2008 – Summary of Results

1

1 INTRODUCTION In 2008, 26 fully localised syllabuses were available to schools, although there were no candidates for 0588 Religious Education. In addition, one Government School used the IGCSE examination in Music (syllabus 0617). For other subjects such as Christian Religious Education, Additional Mathematics and Statistics, schools were offered GCE O level examinations as in previous years. BGCSE is a syllabus based examination. Each syllabus is graded on an 8 point scale from A* to G. Candidates who fail to reach the standard required for Grade G are regarded as ‘unclassified’ and no result is reported on the certificate. O level syllabuses are graded on a 5 point scale from A to E. The total number of grades issued to candidates (excluding absentees and results which are withheld for some reason) is 221,823 (an increase of 9,973 or 4.71% compared to 2007). Of these grades, BGCSE accounts for 209,647 or 94.51% of the total. So, 94.51% of the examinations written in 2008 were set, marked and graded in Botswana. 2 NUMBER OF CANDIDATES Table 2.1 shows the number of candidates who were awarded grades for one or more syllabuses in 2008 compared to previous years. The table also shows the % change compared to the previous years. Candidates whose grades are currently withheld are not included.

Table 2.1 ¶ Private Candidates includes independent learners and students from the Botswana College of Distance and Open Learning

(BOCODOL). Much of the large increase in the number of Private Candidates is due to a change in the number of BOCODOL candidates which increased from 2141 in 2007 to 2728 in 2008 (an increase 587 or 27.42%).

Table 4.4 Candidates in Government Schools, all syllabuses Tables 4.1 to 4.4 suggest that the overall performance of candidates in 2008 was not quite as good as in recent years. In particular, there is a significant fall in the number of grades which are grade C or better; a decrease of2956 or 3.16% of all grades issued. There was a corresponding fall in the total number of grades A and A* (reduced by 1832 or 1.06% of all grades issued)

5 PERFORMANCE OF CANDIDATES IN BGCSE SYLLABUSES In the following tables, for each BGCSE syllabus, the performance of candidates in 2008 is compared with the performance in the period from 2002 to 2007. For each grade, the number awarded the grade is expressed as the number and the cumulative % of candidates at the grade. So, in the case of 0561 English Language, the highlighted cells indicate that 3,061 were awarded grade C and 18.54% of candidates were awarded grade C or better. Only candidates in full-time attendance at the Government Schools have been included (except for 0573 Human & Social Biology which is available only to students in the Private Schools and independent learners). 0561 English Language

(c) Commentary As in previous years, the overall performance of male candidates (as measured by the % of grades issued which is C or better) was better than that of female candidates. For all syllabuses, 38.66% of the grades awarded to male candidates are grade C or better. For female candidates the corresponding percentage is 36.59%. Measured in this way, the ‘gap’ between male and female performance changed little between 2007 and 2008. In the case of Languages, as in previous years, female candidates performed better than male candidates (33.41% of the grades awarded to females were grade C or better compared to 25.46% for male candidates). In the case of Mathematics, once again male candidates did better than female candidates, although there was little change between 2007 and 2008. For the Sciences, the percentage of both male and female candidates who were awarded grade C or better was lower than in 2007, although the difference in performance of male and female students remained much the same. (d) Candidates awarded 5 C’s or better The following table shows the number of candidates who were awarded Grade C or better in 5 or more syllabuses in the period from 2001 to 2008. The data includes all candidates whose gender was known.

Measured in this way, the performance of female candidates continues to improve compared to performance of male candidates. In particular, the proportion of candidates with 5 C’s or better who are female increased again between 2007 and 2008, albeit only slightly. This proportion has increased from 45.62% in 2001 (the first year in which this comparison was made) to 51.51% in 2008. 7 PERFORMANCE OF CANDIDATES IN GOVERNMENT SCHOOLS The following tables show the performance of Candidates in the Government Schools since 2000. Only candidates in full-time attendance at the schools have been included. The performance of the candidates in each school is measured by calculating the number of grades awarded (No.) and the cumulative % (Cum %) at each grade. Changes in the performance of candidates in a particular school could be assessed by comparing, for example, the percentage of the grades issued which are grade C or better (the cumulative percentage at C). For example, in the first table, the highlighted cells indicate that the proportion of all grades issued which are C or better declined from 54.21% in 2007 to 49.15% in 2008. BW800 Moeng College
