The results indicate that the 908 Government schools have 449,585 students while the 744 Private schools have 239,956 students.
USE intake in senior one has been gradually increasing since inception of the program in 2007. The USE program was kick started with a total of 161,396 (92,388 male and 69,008 female) students in 2007. In 2008, the senior one intake increased to 163,758 (92,459 male and 71,299 female) with females increasing by 3%. However, due to a decline in 2008 PLE pass rate from 86% in 2007 to 81%, some of the students failed to qualify for the program in 2009 leading to an intake of 160,130 (87,970 male and 72,160 female). In 2010, the senior one intake rose to 202,441 and has further risen to 236,582 (126,467 male and 110,115 female) in 2011 with an average rise of 20.2% between 2009 and 2011. The 2011 headcount results reflect a transition rate of;
i. 95.7% (95.7% male and 95.7% female) from S.1 to S.2 a 3.4% (2.9% male and 4.0% female) improvement from last year;
ii. 95.1% (96.3% male and 95.8% female) from S.2 to S.3 this indicates a 6.7% (6.8% male and 6.7% female) improvement;
iii. 87.2% (89.6% male and 84.1% female) from S.3 to 5.4. This also improved by 3.6% (4.2% male and 2.8% female)
This trend shows that girl students' transition rate has improved significantly.
Overall, 72% (74% male and 69% female) of the USE students that started S.1 in 2008 have managed to make it to 5.4. The remaining students have either repeated a class, transferred to non-USE schools else dropped out of school.
