This sitting shows 4 of 5 strands at or below the at-risk threshold for 27 learners at Mwachawaza. The overall mean of 26.7% is +2 percentage points above the chance level of 25%. Results are directional — a follow-up check would help confirm the pattern.
One sitting with sparse item coverage (median one question per topic) means strand estimates carry wide uncertainty. A closer look at Political Systems & Governance — the strand furthest below the threshold — would be a reasonable starting point for further inquiry.

All learning outcomes (24) — single-question data, directional only
Most outcomes below are covered by just 1–2 questions. These numbers describe what learners scored on those specific items — not whether they have mastered the outcome. Use strands above for diagnostic confidence.
B describe characteristics of the main climatic regions in eastern africaG60%At-risk1 question — directional only
median 1 question/LO → per-LO is item-evidence not mastery; mastery claims at strand; 2026 harder next-grade paper; misconceptions are distractor hypotheses.
Sparsity note: outcomes with 1 question cannot support diagnostic conclusions — the 1 question — directional only tag marks these throughout.
