The TA constitutes a component of the wider DFID and DFAT-funded KESP programme which also includes Sector Budget Support and an infrastructure component.

A new Education Sector Plan (ESP) for the period 2015-2020 has recently been launched, with an accompanying Joint Review Framework (JRF) and describes the KP Governmentโ€™s comprehensive and ambitious strategy for the development of the elementary and secondary school sector in the Province. It details ten priorities: (i) redeveloping the approach to training and selecting new teachers; (ii) developing a consolidated, needs based, high quality approach to CPD; (iii) redeveloping teaching cadre employment rules; (iv) establishing a sustainable approach to provision of facilities; (v) launching new benefits aimed at children most at risk of educational deprivation; (vi) scaling up partnerships with the private sector; (vii) launching a draw down fund for use in emergency situations; (viii) testing and updating of population data; (ix) developing of district officialsโ€™ management skills; and (x) pegging the education budget to inflation.

Purpose of Role:ย To provide technical support to PEAC and BISE in developing high quality curriculum based assessment instruments for grade 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12, ensuring its construct validity, reliability and psychometric robustness.

ย Background:ย ย The provincial government accords high priority to the promotion of universal quality education in the province. Several reform initiatives are already underway to implement this agenda. The success of these initiatives is contingent upon improvement in student learning. Therefore, student learning at various levels requires to be assessed regularly. Such assessments of student learning will be used to drive reforms aimed at improving teaching and learning. The research on education reforms also suggests the importance of assessments as a strategic instrument to implement a uniform and universal education system.





In order to achieve this vision, the ESED has decided to make class V assessment for the year 2017 mandatory for all students of public and private primary schools of KP and FATA. In 2018, the large-scale assessment will assume the status of primary school terminal examinations. Similarly, large-scale assessment at the grade-VIII level will be introduced in 2018 before the universal examination in 2019. The direction of reforms is to progressively deemphasise rote learning in KPโ€™s classrooms and gear the assessments/examinations toward testing a wide range of knowledge and skills. These improvements will also cover the examinations at secondary and higher secondary levels.
