The Indian Government is ready to implement sample-based National Achievement Survey (NAS) for Classes 3, 5, 8, and 10 with a cycle period of three years.
It is set to cover entire spectrum of schools including Government Schools of Central Government as well as State Government, Government Aided Schools and Private schools across India.
Previous one survey was carried in 2017.
This survey will help in assessing the learning interruptions and new learnings during covid-19 pandemic.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has done instrument development, testing, sampling of the schools and finalization of the test items.
But actual administration of the test in sampled schools will be done by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE).
