National Assessment and Grading System Frameworks
  1. Recognizing the vital role that assessment plays in education, this Department shall implement the National Assessment and Grading System Frameworks according to the delineation of purposes of the assessment at the four (4) levels (national, region, division, and school) toward greater focus and a reduction of repetitive assessments which use the same approaches and assessment instruments (Figures 1, 2, 4, and 4-A).
  2. To be able to fully communicate students’ standing, the framework for grading of students shall be adopted. The grades transmitted to the students, parents, and other significant stakeholders summarize the level and quality of the achievement in terms of competencies and skills acquired through the activities and tasks in carrying out the curriculum (Sample Report Card enclosed).
  3. In collaboration with the bureaus, regions, and divisions, the National Education Testing and Research Center (NETRC) shall implement the National Assessment Framework/System and the National Grading System (Figure 5).
  4. The NETRC shall also provide feedback reports to the regions, divisions, and schools on results of national tests and technical assistance in addressing learning deficiencies.
  5. Immediate dissemination of this Memorandum is desired.
