INTRODUCTION TO SEA-PLM 2024
WHAT IS NEW IN SEA-PLM 2024
Building on the success of SEA-PLM 2019, the new round of assessment SEA-PLM 2024 will continue to transform into a more sustainable programme for delivering comparative students' learning trends over time through cyclic rounds of implementation and boosting policy exchange and collaboration. SEA-PLM 2024 will present new opportunities for engaging stakeholders, forging partnerships, motivating new countries to participate and improving the efficiency of the operating model. It will include additional activities for CLMV countries: Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam.
Furthermore, the complementary nature and interrelatedness of the programme's Pillars 1, 2 and 3 will support regional policies and practices in basic education and produce substantial links between evidence with policy formulation, design, and implementation.
For more details regarding the new phase multi-year plan, participation conditions and registration, please get in touch with the SEA-PLM Secretariat through email: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
SEA-PLM IS DESIGNED BY AND FOR SOUTHEAST ASIAN COUNTRIES
Since its inception in 2012, the SEA-PLM programme has grown into a recognized regional learning assessment and capacity-building programme designed by and for Southeast Asian countries. The SEA-PLM programme is designed to support and address the different needs of each participating country—to help countries strengthen their learning assessment systems and facilitate evidence-based decision-making to improve learning outcomes.
SEA-PLM 2019, the programme's first assessment cycle, has played a vital role in creating informed decisions at the country and system-wide levels. The SEA-PLM programme is competent with knowledge, capacity-building tools, support for policy dialogue, and technical staff expertise to assist partners.
SEA-PLM 2024 IS TIMELY
The role of SEA-PLM's learning assessment programme is critical in the post-COVID-19 era. Learning assessments such as SEA-PLM are vital in evaluating students' learning, supporting learning recovery and achieving better learning outcomes by enhancing the capacity to measure learning outcomes, use evidence and data, and allow for peer exchange on policies and practices.

Established standard guiding data collection activities for SEA-PLM 2019. It provides a benchmark to assess data quality compliance and project implementation procedures by countries and organizations participating in SEA-PLM 2019.
SEA-PLM Code of Practice is based on the ASEAN Community Statistical System (ACSS) Code of Practice, consistent with the Fundamental Principals of the Official Statistics adopted by the United Nations Statistical Commission in 1994. The SEA-PLM Code of Practice for SEA-PLM 2019 is essential for ensuring trust, accountability, and the highest professional standards in developing, producing, disseminating, and communicating SEA-PLM statistics.
The SEA-PLM 2019 Assessment Framework outlines an approach in assessing the domains of mathematics, reading, writing and global citizenship. It describes the constructs to be measured and puts forward a concept for the contextual questionnaires. It outlines the design and content of the assessment instruments and describes how measures generated by those instruments relate to the constructs.
The framework:
- Gives a common language to stakeholders for discussion of the domain areas;
- Guides test development, ensuring that the instruments serve the intended purposes and cover the domains in the way agreed at the outset;
- Ensures that, where continuity from one year or one grade level to another is of concern, there is an articulated plan for the assessment. As a result, it provides stability or, where change is desired, it can be made explicit and implemented deliberately; and
- Communicates the purpose and features of the assessment program beyond the immediate stakeholders and, consequently, helps in the public interpretation of the results.

This assessment framework aims to articulate the basic structure of the global citizenship domain as part of SEA-PLM. It describes the constructs to be measured. It also outlines the design and content of the measurement instruments and describes how measures generated by those instruments relate to the constructs. It combines theory and practice to explain the what and the how of the SEA-PLM assessment of global citizenship.
