What term describes how well individuals do in the school system, usually measured by exam results?

• A. Discrimination
• B. Educational Achievement
• C. Intelligence
• D. Labelling

Answer: (B)

Educational achievement is the idea that focuses on how well students perform within the schooling system, typically shown by exam results. It describes the actual attainment or outcomes of schooling, such as grades and certifications, which is exactly what the question is asking about.

Discrimination involves unfair treatment and is about social processes, not measurement of schooling performance. Intelligence refers to cognitive ability, which can influence performance but isn’t the measurement of how well someone does in school. Labelling is about how teachers or others categorize a student, which can affect expectations or behavior, but it isn’t the measurement of academic attainment itself.
