Background
The Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) Secretariat at UNESCO Bangkok, in collaboration with Global Resources for Assessment Curriculum and Evaluation (GRACE), the Bureau of Educational Assessment of the Department of Education (DepEd-BEA) Philippines, Brookings Institution and with the generous support of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE), organised a four-day workshop on ‘Promoting Transversal Competencies (TVC) across curriculum, pedagogy and assessment’. The workshop was designed to ensure that participants have sufficient understanding of the nature of the competencies in order for them to analyse their implications for curriculum reform, pedagogical approaches, and paths consequent upon inclusion of the competencies agenda within national education policy.
The topics were engaged around the areas of the adoption of the competencies by national ministries of education, the nature of the competencies, models of integration within curricula, teaching of the competencies, assessment of the competencies, and review of teacher education curricula with reference to transversal competencies.
