PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF SCHOOL STUDENTS

UNDER ROSHNI PROJECT IN ERNAKULAM

Introduction

ROSHNI project aims at the educational development of migrant workers’ children in

Ernakulum District. The project is implemented in 20 selected schools across the district.

For the performance analysis, data was collected from the above mentioned 20 schools. To

measure the performance, two sets of data were collected- one at the start of the academic

year before implementing the project at the schools and second after 6 months of

implementing the program. The data was taken as two sets- one from LP section and second

from UP section. The proficiency was categorised as two- complete and partial. Further, the

BMI (Body Mass Index) was also calculated before and after implementing the program

since project included providing breakfast to these children.

Flow of analysis

The analysis is divided into two parts- Part 1 compares the proficiency, and BMI before

implementing Roshni and after implementation taking a span of 6 months. Part 2 takes the

terminal exam into consideration and compares the performance of the students thus

ascertaining the success of the Roshni program in improving their academic performance.



Analysis

Part 1: The proficiency of the students are compared with before implementing the program

and after implementing the program taking a span of 6 months. The proficiency is measured

as partial proficiency and complete proficiency for both LP & UP schools. Further the BMI is

compared.

It can be seen from Figure 1 and Figure 2 that for both LP as well as UP, the complete

proficiency has increased while the partial proficiency has decreased over the 6 months.

Figure 3: Percentage increase in BMI

Figure 3 reveals that there is a small increase in the average BMI for 20 schools. Since the

data is only for 6 months duration, a drastic increase cannot be expected. But due to

providing breakfast, there is a small increase in the average BMI , which is a positive sign

Analysing average attendance for 6 months

Figure 4: Average attendance across 20 schools over the 6 months



The mean attendance of students in 20 schools is 85.9%. It is evident from the chart that all

the schools have a good percentage attendance. This can be attributed to the classes as well as

the breakfast provided. Further, the proficiency can also be seen to be increased due to this

stable attendance.

Part 2: Analysing the academic performance in the terminal exam

ROSHNI project educated the students off the class hours. The objective of the program is to

make at par the students of this program with the rest of their classmate, by improving their

proficiency in Malayalam language as the medium of instruction is Malayalam in these schools.

Hence, the analysis of the performance of these students in their terminal exams becomes

mandatory to measure the success of the project. The performance of these students in the

terminal exams are taken and consolidated for this purpose.

For analysis, the two sections LP & UP are handled separately.

Section A shows the analysis of LP schools and Section B shows that of UP schools

SECTION A - LP Section

ROSHNI: Pretest June-July 2018 and Terminal Exam Dec 2018 Grade Consolidation

Performance A B C D

Pretest - LP (% of students who scored the

grade) 5.18 18.32 22.26 54.12

Terminal Examination - LP (% of students who

scored the grade) 26.10 39.56 20.41 13.90

Table 1: Grade consolidation of LP section



Figure 5: Grade consolidation – pre-test and terminal exam

Major improvement shown in the grades A and D , as the students who were scoring D

grades have drastically dropped from 54 % to 14 % whereas as it can be seen with A grade

scoring pattern has improved from meagre 5 % to 26 % . There is almost 50% increase in the

performance of students scoring B grade, though students scoring grade C the change is not

substantial.

On a school wise performance analysis of the School under the ROSHNI Project we find

the following trends depicted in graphs below. The figures below denotes separately the

grades A, B, C & D scored by students



Figure 6: Consolidation of Grade A across the schools

Figure 7: Consolidation of Grade B across the schools



Figure 8: Consolidation of Grade C across the schools

Figure 9: Consolidation of Grade D across the schools

From figures 6, 7, 8 & 9 it can be seen that the percentage of students scoring grades A&

B have increased in the terminal exam when compared with that of pretest and the

percentage of students scoring Grades C& D have come down. This can be attributed to

the success of the implementation of ROSHNI



SECTIONB – UP Section

ROSHNI: Pretest June-July 2018 and Terminal Exam Dec 2018

Grade Consolidation

Performance A B C D

Pretest - LP (% of students who scored the grade) 5.12 11.02 13.96 69.72

Terminal Examination - LP (% of students who scored the

grade) 15.48 45.24 13.43 25.84

Table 2: Grade consolidation of UP section

Figure10 : Grade Consolidation : pretest and terminal exam

On a school wise performance analysis of the School under the ROSHNI Project in the Upper

Primary Sections, we find the following trends depicted in graphs below. In most of the schools

improvements in A and B grades and drastic reduction in D grades can be seen clearly.

Further a consolidation of the grades across the UP schools are done and is depicted in

the following figures.

Conclusion

As mentioned earlier the ROSHNI project has their volunteers training the students using

Code Switching Techniques to increase their proficiency in Malayalam. The project also

provides breakfast for these students. The results of the analysis clearly supports the success

of the implementation of the project. The proficiency of the students in handling Malayalam-

reading, writing, speaking and understanding has increased considerably. This has reflected

in their performance in the terminal exams too. The attendance of these students is seen to be

high and stable another indicator of the success of the ROSHNI as it has been proven that

students are more likely to succeed in academics when they attend school consistently.
