How We Measure Success

By providing important learning technology we have worked with Kabala, Fadugu, and Senekedugu, to foster an environment of academic achievement. The best way to measure this success derives from the National Primary School Examination (NPSE) that Sierra Leone requires its students to take at the end of primary school.

The graph to the left represents the average performance over the past four years on the math section of the NSPE. Our goal is to shift the majority of students scores into the 70% range.

  • The West African Examination Council (WAEC) was established in 1952 to promote education among the nations of Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Liberia, and Gambia. They have administered many national examinations, including the NPSE.

  • The NPSE is a 500 point examination. Each subject area is awarded a maximum score of 100. To move on to secondary school, students must score a minimum of 230/500. For more elite secondary schools, a score of 275 - 300 is required for admittance.

  • The exam consists of Quantitative and Verbal aptitude sections. As well as Math, English, and General Science achievement.

Tracking Progress

The RACHEL has a built-in tracking tool which monitors the progress of individual students, groups, and overall programs. We have utilized this tool to track each student’s math learning within Khan Academy modules, and get a better grasp for how the class is doing in their efforts towards achieving mastery. Below lies a visualization of recent student progress data.
