Abstract

AKSI as a national survey aims to monitor the quality of the education system across provinces. This includes determining factors that have impact on students’ achievement in science, mathematics and reading skills. This study analyses four factors: gender, parents’ educational background, students’ access to ICT and use of ICT, and schools’ quality. A hierarchical linear modelling was conducted to analyse 16,608 students as the smallest analysis unit which nested to 1,802 schools. The results show that access to ICT will not have any impact on students’ achievement, unless the student makes use of the ICT facilities for learning. Parents’ educational background and school quality have also impact. The interaction between parents’ educational background and school quality shows that the two factors are not mutually exclusive, meaning that the effect of parental education on student achievement depends on the quality of the school and vice versa. This study concludes that although the parents’ background and schools’ quality are a key to student achievement, the indicator of schools’ quality is not about simply having access to resources but about how resources are used to improve education outcomes.
