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.

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.

SEA-PLM Advocacy Material

The SEA-PLM advocacy material, available in 8 languages—English, Malay, Filipino, Khmer, Lao, Portuguese, Tetum, and Vietnamese—promotes participation in the Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) initiative. This regional survey, conducted every five years, collects data on Grade 5 students' learning outcomes in reading and mathematics, as well as insights into their school environments and well-being. The data helps address key educational questions and informs policy improvements across Southeast Asia.

The material outlines the survey process, emphasizing the importance of participation from students, teachers, and parents while ensuring confidentiality. It encourages communities to engage, showcasing how quality data can drive better educational outcomes.
