Abstract
This study examinesstudents’ performance in the 2014 and 2015 Junior examination through a disaggregated data lens. Students’ exam scoreswere analysed per exam item, schools and region. This were the questions: what was the nature of the students’ performance in the 2014 and 2015 history examinations in Swaziland?; how were the students performing between urban and rural schools?;how were the students performing between the four regions?A sample of 28 schools from 258 was randomly selected. These 28 schools had 1011 students who sat for the 2014 history examination. The total number of students who sat for the examination was 5894. The findings of the study revealed that in both academic years’students’ performances in paper one were inadequate. In paper one, of the 2014 and 2015 academic years most schools only performed better in question one. In paper two students’ performances were good in question 1, 3, and 4 of 2014 and for the 2015they performed well only in question 1 and 4.Performances between the regions as well as between urban and rural schools were not clear, because sometimes rural schools outclass urban school across the regions.
