Principal Secretary, Department of School Education, Praveen Prakash has directed government school authorities across the State to ensure daily conduct of TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) classes.
In a statement, Mr. Praveen Prakash said this is imperative in view of the joint assessment (readiness certification) by the Princeton-based Education Testing Services (ETS) and Andhra Pradesh State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) for students of Classes III to V, scheduled on April 10, and for students of Classes VI to IX on April 12.
Mr. Praveen Prakash said the collaboration marks a significant milestone. “This is perhaps the first time worldwide that the ETS and a State government are jointly assessing students’ preparedness for the main exam,” he said.
