Résumé
The National Education Assessment (NEA) is administered by the Assessment and Monitoring Division, Bhutan Council For School Examinations and Assessment (BCSEA) to grade 6 (ISCED 1) and grade 10 (ISCED 2) students in general education programmes in public and private schools.
The NEA was administered to grade 6 students in 2003, 2005 and 2011. In 2011, the NEA used the same instruments as 2003 to allow comparison of the benchmark achieved in 2003 against that of 2011. The student population was thus different but the instruments used were common.
The NEA was administered to grade 10 students in 2007, 2013 and 2015.
The NEA is a low-stake assessment. The NEA is a written examination, administered face-to-face and delivered through paper-pencil tests. All test-takers are presented with cognitive booklets or tests, which are based on different learning objectives and aligned with the national curriculum.
The NEA serves the following purposes:
- supporting teachers (training, relevant materials, etc.)
- school or educator accountability
- sub-national level monitoring of learning outcomes
- monitoring education quality levels
- planning education policy reforms
- monitoring the impact of a particular educational program
