ASSESSMENT ORGANIZATIONS

Bhutan Council for School Examinations and Assessment

BCSEA is an assessment body that helps to guide the Bhutanese education system in its progressive shift in policy focus and support the education ministry in bringing about improvements to schooling and assessment in Bhutan. The goal of BCSEA is to help students fulfil their potential, meet international learning standards, and prepare students for the world of work. BCSEA will not only professionalize the assessment system and move beyond the rudiments of measuring the minimal tasks of rote and recall, but will also improve the integrity of curricular programs, selection of learning materials, the way they are delivered, and the quality of output through modern scientific assessment methods. BCSEA, as a highly professional and autonomous national evaluation and assessment agency, will carry out periodic centrally organized national examinations, assessments, monitoring and research activities to set new standards in schooling systems that will lead to positive educational reform in Bhutan.
