All schools in Dubai will now be required to participate in international and external benchmarking assessments on an annual basis to reach national agenda goals.
Starting this year, school inspection results will also feature insights on progress made by individual schools in achieving national agenda goals.
Currently, all schools are mandatorily required to write the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) and Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), conducted once in three years.
However, all schools will now be required to write international assessments like International Benchmark Test (IBT), GL Assessment, and International Schools' Assessment (ISA) along with PISA and TIMMS. "Schools will be judged on their ability to reach the National Agenda Goals based on test results from these other international assessment," said Dr Rabaa Al Sumaiti, Director of International Assessments at KHDA. However, some schools Khaleej Times spoke to stated that they already undergo these assessments and some internal assessments that are set by the school itself.

The Government leadership ensures that their targets are achieved by 2021 and they periodically monitors the national indicators. |
