Hi! I would like to request information on the NAT results in NCR from 2015 to 2020. I am particularly interested in the percentage of Grade 3, 6, 10 and 12 students who acquired an overall score of at least 70% in the NAT from 2015 to 2020. If possible, I would like to have the data by November 29, 2022. Thanks!

Greetings! We are fifth year BS Geodetic Engineering students from the University of the Philippines Diliman, currently in the process of checking possible data sources for our thesis proposal with the working title “Investigating Inequity and Urbanity in Metro Manila, Philippines through GIS-based Opportunity Mapping and Nighttime Light Imagery.” The research shall focus on determining if there is a significant relationship between the socioeconomic opportunities available to citizens and the urbanity of the place they are living in. Such socioeconomic opportunities shall be divided into categories (e.g. social, geographic, institutional, etc.) which shall then be quantified by their own set of indicators (e.g. for the social category, some indicators include the poverty and unemployment rate). All this is to derive a comprehensive opportunity index score assigned to each city in NCR, to be able to determine the level of opportunity (e.g. high, medium, low) experienced by a specific municipality. By conducting this research, we aim to provide a spatial perspective on opportunities and equity with regards to the urbanity of one’s location. We believe that this can be crucial in understanding the inequalities being experienced by Filipinos, and hence, helpful in devising plans and strategies to bridge these gaps. As such, we are humbly requesting for the following data from your good department: 1. Percentage of Grade 3 students who acquired an overall score of at least 70% in the NAT from 2015 to 2020 PER CITY in Metro Manila (e.g. 89% of the takers in Pasig City passed in 2015, 93% of the takers for in Quezon City passed in 2016, etc.) 2. Percentage of Grade 6 students who acquired an overall score of at least 70% in the NAT from 2015 to 2020 PER CITY in Metro Manila 3. Percentage of Grade 10 or 4th Yr students who acquired an overall score of at least 70% in the NAT from 2015 to 2020 PER CITY in Metro Manila 4. Percentage of Grade 12 students who acquired an overall score of at least 70% in the NAT from 2015 to 2020 (or from the year it started to be available) PER CITY in Metro Manila If you could also provide the total number of takers and passers (in this context passers are those who achieved a score of 70% or higher) for each city so we can crosscheck with the percentage values, that would also be highly appreciated. We are deeply passionate about this project and would appreciate all the help you can give us. Should you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us using the details indicated below. Thank you very much, and we look forward to hearing from you soon.
