This framework has been developed on the basis of t he nine student attributes as specified in the Bhutan Education Blueprint 2014-2024, guided by the sound principles and best practices of large-scale assessments. The Framework is aligned with the vision of His Majesty, the Ministry of Education, the Bhutan Council for School Examinations and Assessment, the draft National Education Policy 2018, and other strategic policy documents that express the aspirations of our nation. It outlines the purpose and the need for a robust assessment framework and other essential aspects of assessment including assessment design,sampling,data analysis, and reporting. Further, it includes discussions on assessment of students with Special Education Needs (SEN). The framework is the culmination of the extensive collaboration and consultation among stakeholders and meticulous review by the BCSEA Core Team, National Review Team, and ACER, India. I extend my sincere appreciation and gratitude to the technical team, the collaborating agencies, funding and coordinating agencies for the successful development of the NEAF. This framework will enable BCSEA to implement international best practices in monitoring and assessing the quality, equity and health of the education system. It would also help MoE to achieve its aspiration in making students realize their potential to become socially useful and economically productive citizens. Further, the framework will guide us in making school education system dynamic and responsive to the changing local, national, and global needs. Best wishes to BCSEA for a very successful implementation of the NEA. Tashi Delek (Jai Bir Rai) Minister Ministry of Education 8 National Educational Assessment Framework PREFACE The National Education Assessment Framework (NEAF) is the first of its kind developed by Bhutan Council for School Examinations and Assessment with technical support from Australian Council for Educational Research (India) under the Education Sector Program Implementation Grant funded by the Global Partnership for Education. It is widely recognised that an assessment frameworks is a key to building stronger and fairer school systems. Great emphasis is being given to the importance of seeing assessment not an end in itself. but as an important tools for achieving improved student learning outcomes. Information regarding the student learning achievement is critical in order to make informed policy decisions in the education system and to provide feedback for the improvement in student learning outcomes. This document sets out a comprehensive guidelines for the conduct of the National Education Assessment (NEA) at grades III, VI and IX across the four core domains (English Reading and Writing Literacy, Dzongkha Reading and Writing Literacy, Mathematical Literacy, and Scientific Literacy). With the framework in place and through the capacity building workshops provided for the development of NEAF, it is expected that the quality of assessment instruments, processes and outcomes will be enhanced. It is our hope that all relevant stakeholders will support us in this endeavour.

MANIFESTO 2013 : DRUK NYAMRUP TSHOGPA iv Foreword by the PRESIDENT e, the Bhutanese are once more on the threshold of exercising our fundamental rights of shaping the Wdestiny of this nation, our motherland. This choice that we make will either set ablaze the ideals of democracy that we so deeply treasure. This historic hour summons DNT to rise up and answer to the call and the yearning of the Bhutanese citizens for a country that is united in peace and harmony; a government that is strong, stable and trust worthy; an economy that is progressive and sustainable; a society that prioritises happiness and bear responsibility for the elderly and the vulnerable; and a party that connects with people and bridges the gaping disparities between the rich and the downtrodden. Our kings have consolidated our sovereignty, strengthened our institutions and prepared us for the future. With democracy, all that we have witnessed in the last fi ve years was a chain of uneventful happenings: the collapse of our economy; failures and losses in opportunities; escalation in corruption and nepotism; gaping holes and disastrous fl aws in policies, of which rupee shortage and credit crunch stands as just one example. This has slackened businesses and put household plans to a standstill. Thus, 2013 beckons the Bhutanese for a greater responsibility and a fuller participation towards making a wiser choice & we must rise up and let our voices ring loud and clear to usher in change.
