The SEA-PLM 2024 Test and Questionnaire Framework has been released. It embodies the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics’ dedication to maintaining the rigor of international large-scale assessments while addressing the unique needs of Southeast Asian countries. This second survey cycle builds on the successes of the first, refining components to allow trend analysis across Grade 5 cohorts over time.
The framework emphasizes literacy-based approaches and contents, assessing a wide range of children proficiencies and continuous learning potential. It defines literacy in reading, writing, and mathematics while integrating emerging skills and 21st-century constructs into stakeholder questionnaires, ensuring SEA-PLM 2024 instruments meet local and national needs.
