Description:
"1. The National Unity Government's Ministry of Education will administer the Basic Education Completion Assessment, commencing in February 2023.
2. Those who meet the following requirements are eligible to take the Basic Education Completion Assessment administering in coming February, 2023:
(a) Any student who will be 17 years old on August 31, 2022.
(b) Any student who has attended basic education Grade 10 (old system).
3. For the convenience of students who are taking the assessment amid the various issues and difficulties facing across the country, students can take the assessment:
(a) via online assessment portal if internet access is available.
(b) via offline assessment applications if stable internet access is not available.
(c) at on-ground assessment centers where safety is guaranteed.
4. Basic education completion assessment will be based on Grade 11 (old system) curriculum. However, instead of memorization-based question types,
(a) Knowledge and Comprehension
(b) Application and Analysis
(c) Creative Problem-solving
skills of the students related to the respective subjects will be assessed.
5. The duration of assessment for each subject will be two hours in total and assessment papers, like other international assessments, will include objective type items that are to be responded with critical and analytical thinking skills.
6. In 2023, the assessment will be administered twice as follows:
(a) February 2023
(b) August 2023
(Those who might not be able to take the assessment in the first time in February, 2023 will be able to take in August, 2023.)
7. Assessment results will be released with competency-based gradings, not with a pass or fail. Therefore, students will not need all the subjects to be assessed again just not meeting the passing requirements of one or two subjects. Instead, depending on the admission requirements of higher or vocational education institutions they would like to enroll, students can retake assessment for the subject in which their previous grades are not unsatisfactory or ineligible.
8. The Ministry of Education shall promptly release vital information for students, teachers, and parents on the basic education completion assessment.
9. For those who are taking part in the revolution, students with disabilities, and students who affected the conflicts, special education and assessment programs will be implemented specially during the appropriate interim or post-revolution period.
10. Students are therefore encouraged and advised to start learning lessons in the Grade 11 curriculum (old system) in order to get ready for the assessment..."
