Results

 

The results of the PMDP have been tracked primarily at NSC level. However, now that the ANAs for grades 3, 6, and 9 are being implemented more effectively, it will become possible to track assessment performance at primary school levels as well.

​

In summary, at NSC level PMDP participating schools have, on average, year on year outperformed the KZN provincial average assessment results by just under 7%. This is indicated in the following graph.

​

Furthermore, the 2009 pilot cohort of schools recorded a total average improvement of 25.5% in their NSC results since starting the programme in 2009. The 2010 cohort improved by 19.2% from 2010-2012.

​

The attendance of learners and teachers during the course of the programme is also measured, and on average attendance by teachers improved by more than 5% in 86% of participating schools.

“The project is excellent. After attending it, you are born again as a school manager. It has made a remarkable impact on my management practices. It is indispensable if we are serious about proper school management.”

M.B. Xulu - Principal of Mabuthela High School, Mzumbe Ward, Kwa-Zulu Natal
