Bhutan Project

‘Annual Status of Student Learning’ - Assessment of Students

The ‘Annual Status of Student Learning’ study will be an assessment conducted for all students in Bhutan in classes 4, 6 and 8 in Maths, English and Science. EI will design and develop the assessments, drawing upon its expertise in conducting the ASSET test and in conducting large scale assessments in different languages across various states of India. The tests will measure how well students are learning in Bhutanese schools. This test will try to gauge children’s performance on learning with understanding, critical thinking and problem solving skills, though carefully designed and refined questions. The tests will also benchmark the performance of students in Bhutan with international performance to understand how they compare globally.

Bhutan - Teacher Assessments
Teacher assessments are researched and developed for teachers teaching academic subjects in classes K-12. These tests are designed to understand the conceptual strength the teachers have in their subject areas and their learning gaps. They will also identify the misconceptions teachers may have and provide a basis for understanding the common pedagogical practices followed by teachers in classrooms and their common beliefs about student learning.
