The test, consisting of 25 multiple-choice
questions, was conducted by the
Ministry of Education in May.
It evaluated students from public, private,
military, and UNRWA schools, and aimed to identify the educational levels of
third-grade students in two subjects: Arabic language and mathematics.
The average performance of students in the Kingdom
was 67 percent for Arabic language, and 59 percent for mathematics.
The test aims to provide teachers with information
about the strengths and weaknesses of their students for the purpose of
follow-up and learning plan development, inform decisions related to school
curricula, correct information, and align curricula with student’s levels,
supplementing their knowledge and skills in weak areas as revealed by the
results.
A statistical report covering the test results was
published recently on the ministry website. It indicated that the target sample
was randomly divided into two equal groups — the first group was evaluated
based on the Arabic language test, and the second based on the mathematics
test. The results revealed that there are statistically significant differences
in performance between males and females, at 0.05 percent, in favor of females
over males.
