| Commentary: Only 20 percent of year 4 students and 40 percent of year 8 students were rated as having provided a good, very good or excellent description of New Zealand for these Samoan immigrants. Year 4 students did a little better in 2001 than in 1997 but the converse was true for year 8 students. |
