Research has also shown that Mindanao has a disproportionately large share of the low-performing schools in the Nursing Licensure Exam (2010 to 2016) with 28 (44% of total low- performing schools while accounting for only 22% of total schools). Most of these schools are private (63 out of 64) and are very small, with less than 2,000 students (58 out of 64).
