🎯 Objective of the Foundational Test (PAT)
The main aim of PAT is to evaluate
whether each student has acquired the expected learning outcomes of the
previous grade. Unlike board exams, this is a low-stress assessment
that helps teachers identify and improve the teaching-learning process.
✅
Key Purposes:
- Shift focus from evaluation of learning to evaluation
for learning.
- Help track and improve student learning outcomes.
- Support effective teaching methods based on evidence.
- Help improve outcomes in National Achievement Surveys
(NAS).
- Enable action plans for students lagging behind.
- Provide data on grade- and subject-wise learning
progress.
