Appendix 2. Supplementary Performance Information

The ministry uses other performance measures to indicate success of strategies supporting improved student achievement and a high quality performance-oriented system. The measures presented in earlier sections are those that have the most meaning to parents and the wider public audience, and are able to be presented in a relatively simplified statement. The ministry also collects, analyzes and reports data that may require more context in order to be meaningful. Some of these reports are available online at www.bced.gov.bc.ca/exams/standrep/welcome.htm and some data is reported in the ministry's Annual Service Plan Report. Specific data reports may also be requested from the ministry's Information Department. Some additional measures include:
