What is the syllabus for SBA?

The PEC test, based on the curriculum developed by the Punjab Curriculum and Textbook Board (PCTB), is comprehensive. It is divided into two parts.

• Part A covers Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies.
• Part B focuses on Islamiat/Pakistan Studies, English, and Urdu.

How does School-based assessment work?

So, what distinguishes the School-Based Assessment? The SBA, launched by Punjab’s education department, runs from April to June each year, covering all of Punjab’s districts.

Its goal is straightforward: to assess learning outcomes in science, mathematics, and English language for students in grades I through VIII.

What about the tools? Instruments standardized by the famous Program for International Student Assessment (PISA). PEC is the first in Pakistan to use such international standards at the school level. Mind it, we aren’t counting the O and A levels.

The method is remarkably efficient. Schools are given a unique URL with login details. The headmaster connects to the PEC item bank generator website, where they may get pre-built SBA papers for all grades and subjects, complete with answer keys.

Creating an assessment is as simple as selecting the class and subject. The SBA document is ready with a click, complete with the school’s information and a unique QR code. This computerized technique promotes accuracy and efficiency. A step in the right direction!
