Challenges/ Gaps/ Bottlenecks in the
Implementation
This unprecedented times of COVID-19 pandemic
has brought massive change in the educational
landscape, particularly on the teaching and
learning process. Teachers have experienced
difficulties in conducting assessment, to wit:
 The purpose of assessment in the 21 st century
is defeated as no authentic assessment with
the supervision of the teachers is possible
due to restrictions
 Most of the assessment tools are limited to
paper and pen test or traditional assessment
 Assessment tools adapted and designed by
teachers are not relevant and responsive to
the needs of the learners
 Assessment tools are not localized and
contextualized which are sometimes not
applicable to all learners
 Diversity of learners is not addressed by the
designed assessment
 More trainings/ workshops should be
conducted to help teachers design
assessment tools in the light of the pandemic
 Feedbacking is difficult for interaction is
limited
 Progress of learners is still monitored yet this
is far beyond the essence of f2f monitoring
 Some parents lack active involvement in their
child’s/ children’s schooling
 Feedback mechanism thru online somehow
ineffective due to lack of genuine and
interpersonal connection
 Remediation needs supervision from the
teachers, otherwise, it will not help the
