- Identify the challenges and opportunities for developing a coherent assessment and evaluation framework that can inform evidence-based policymaking and practices - at the various levels of the system, i.e. student, teacher/school leader, school and system
- Propose better link between the international assessments with the national assessment system
- Identify and propose best ways to support schools in collecting and analysing learning evidence to inform school and classroom practices, school development planning, etc.
