Based on the graph, B40 group which makes up to 57% of the students, is closely related to SDG 1 - No Poverty. This goal focuses on ending poverty in all its forms. Since the B40 group represents the lower income part of the population, the large number of students in this category highlights the importance of providing support and opportunities to help them succeed.

by focusing on the B40 group, we can work towards reducing poverty and ensuring that everyone has a fair chance at education, which is a key part of achieving SDG 1.

M40 Group: The M40 group makes up to 29% of the students. This is the second largest group, representing nearly a third of the student population. This suggest a balanced representation but still less than half of the total.

T20 Group: The smallest portion, 14% is in the T20 group. This indicated that a smaller segment of students falls into this category, which could be indicative of more selective criteria or a smaller pool of eligible students.

Overall, the distribution shows a heavy concentration in the B40 group, with a decreasing percentage of students in the M40 and T20 groups, respectively. This suggests that the B40 category might be a primary focus area for the initiatives or resources.
