AI explanation

We calculate the percentage of students securing a Good grade at the Secondary level for each given year by dividing the number of Good students by the total number of Secondary students that year, then multiplying by 100. For 2013, the calculation is 75 divided by (98 plus 75 plus 22), which equals 75 divided by 195, resulting in 38.46 percent. Testing the other options shows 2014 is about 31.4 percent, 2015 is about 34.8 percent, 2016 is about 35 percent, and 2017 is about 28.4 percent, making 2013 the highest.
