Private schools: Pass percentage= 83%. Percentage candidates scoring >= 80% = 34.83% (325 out of 933)

Weighted percentage = ((.5 * 83) + (.5 * 34.83)) = 58.92%

Government schools: Pass percentage= 51%. Percentage candidates scoring >= 80% = 14.28% (1 in 7)

Weighted percentage= ((.5 * 51) + (.5*14.28)) = 32.64%
