MARGARIMA SECONDARY SCHOOL
Hela Province, Papua New Guinea

Grade 11 Student Streaming Criteria

Goal: Ensure fairness, clarity, and balance in class distribution using only Grade 10 external exam grades.

1. Step 1 – Define Indices

Science Strength Index (SSI)

SSI = 2 × Math + 2 × Science + English + Agriculture

Social Science Strength Index (SoSI)

SoSI = 2 × SocSci + 2 × Business + English + PD

2. Step 2 – Stream Decision

  • Science Eligibility: Math ≥ UP, Science ≥ C, and SSI ≥ SoSI.
  • Social Science Eligibility: Social Science OR Business ≥ UP and SoSI ≥ SSI.

3. Step 3 & 4 – Class Assignment

Science: Math D/C go to Adv Math (A, B, C1). Math UP/P go to Gen Math (C2).

Social Science: Business profiles lead to E classes; Social profiles lead to D/F classes.

4. Step 5 – Balancing Class Sizes

If any class exceeds 17 students, borderline cases are swapped between compatible classes to maintain balance.
