<br/><br/> The National Achievement Survey (NAS) was conducted throughout the country on November 13, 2017, for class 3, 5 and 8 in government and government-aided schools. The survey tools used multiple test booklets with 45 questions in classes III and V and 60 questions in class VIII in Mathematics, Language, Sciences and Social Sciences. The Competency-based questions developed, reflected the learning outcomes developed by NCERT which were recently incorporated in the RTE Act by the Government of India. Along with the test items, questionnaires pertaining to students, teachers, and schools were also used.<br/><br/>The learning levels of 2.2 million students from 1,10,000 schools across 701 districts in all states/UTs were assessed. The findings of the survey will help guide education policy, planning and implementation at national, state, district and classroom levels for improving learning levels of children and bringing out qualitative improvements.
