This collaborative effort stems from a comprehensive research study titled "Matriculation Exam Result Analysis," conducted by PIE in partnership with the Pak Alliance for Math & Science (PAMS). The primary focus of this study is on Assessment Framework Analysis, aiming to provide valuable insights into the quality of assessments carried out by Secondary Level Educational Boards. The workshop, scheduled for December 5, 2023, at PIE Auditorium, will feature the active participation of representatives from all matriculation boards and school education departments, both provincial and regional. Participants will contribute their experiential insights to the data collection process, with the overarching goal of empowering them with essential data analysis skills.

 

The initiative aims to enable participants to adeptly present data in alignment with provided templates, fostering a collaborative and informed approach to improve the quality of assessment practices in secondary education. The workshop ended with closing remarks by the Chairman of IBCC, Dr. Ghulam Ali Mallah.
