NAS Model Question Papers 2021 for National Achievement Survey in Schools. The Ministry of Education (MoE) will conduct National Achievement Survey 2021 on November 12. As many as 1.23 lakh schools in 733 districts across 36 districts and Union Territories will take part in NAS 2021. NAS, a sample-based survey, is held nation-wide to assess learning achievements of students.
NAS seeks to provide a comprehensive and authentic database for bringing in qualitative improvement in the education system. CBSE is administering NAS 2021 on behalf of the Education Ministry. The board has asked schools to go through the frequently asked questions (FAQs) on the website, nas.education.gov.in and cooperate in the survey.
The Nationwide Survey, which assesses the competencies developed by the students at the grade levels of third, fifth, and eighth, is conducted every three years. The survey was last conducted in 2017 and was scheduled to take place in 2020. However, due to the COVID-19 situation, it was postponed until this year.
While the instrument development, testing, finalisation of test items, sampling of schools, etc. have been done by NCERT, the actual administration of the test in the sampled schools will be done by the CBSE in collaboration with the respective states and union territories.
The survey which will cover government, government aided and private schools will help to assess the learning interruptions and new learnings during the pandemic and help to take remedial measures. NAS will be conducted in Language, Mathematics and EVS for classes 3 and 5; Language, Mathematics, Science & Social Science for class 8; and Language, Mathematics, Science, Social Science and English for class 10
A portal has been launched to enable coordination with various key functionaries for smooth conduct of the survey. State and district report cards for both elementary and secondary levels will be released and placed in the public domain.
