DepEd orders conduct of rapid assessment for learning recovery
To identify learning gaps and design appropriate interventions, the Department of Education (DepEd) has ordered the conduct of a rapid assessment in the school year (SY) 2021–2022 for learning recovery which will cover students in public and private schools.
Signed by Education Secretary Leonor Briones, the DepEd Order No. 27, s. 2022 outlined the conduct of rapid assessment which will also serve as a preparation for the 2024 baseline system assessment.
DepEd, through the Bureau of Education Assessment (BEA) and with the assistance of regional offices (ROs) and schools division offices (SDOs), will administer the Early Language, Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (ELLNA), the National Achievement Test for Grade 6 (NATG6), and National Achievement Test for Grade 12 (NATG12) for School Year (SY) 2021-2022.
The ELLNA is scheduled from June 7 to 17, 2022 for current Grade 3 pupils of SY 2021−2022 in public schools.
The NATG6, also scheduled from June 7 to 17, 2022, is for Grade 6 students of SY 2021−2022 in both public and private schools.
Paper-based sampling will be used as a method of administration for ELLNA and NATG6.
Meanwhile, the NATG12 is scheduled from June 13 to 21, 2022. It is for students in public and private schools who are currently in Grade 12 of SY 2021−2022. It will be administered through computer-based sampling.
The conduct of the tests is under DepEd Order (DO) No. 029, s. 2021 or the School Calendar and Activities for School Year 2021−2022.
DepEd said that as a rapid assessment, the administration of a representative sample of schools and students before the end of SY 2021−2022 will “serve as an indicator for the central learning gaps in the entire system.” Read More…
