How are national schools classified into clusters?
The clustering of national schools was done based on infrastructure and the number of human resources within the schools. A school like Pangani is cluster 1 but Alliance High School is in cluster 3. The performance of both schools is good but Pangani is in cluster 1 because it has a higher student capacity, more human resources or the infrastructure may be better.
