The Catalogue

project (or CLA)

is the UIS’ initiative to compile standardised information on various aspects of learning outcomes (skills, or development) assessments in countries across the world. CLA 1.0 was lunched in 2014CLA 2.0 is an enhanced versionWhat is the Catalogue of Learning Assessments Version 2 (CLA 2.0)? CLA 2.0

national, regional and international learning assessments;

Compare commonalities and differences with the objective of guiding international dialogue on what learning means, and how it is assessed and reported;Help countries evaluate and improve the quality and robustness of their assessment/examination systems; Help countries and donors identify capacity-development needs.What is the purpose of CLA 2.0?

What is the structure of CLA 2.0?

The CLA 2.0 consists of two modules

:Module 1 collects information about the characteristics of national and cross-national learning (skills, or development) assessments in countries. Module 2 collects the results of national learning (skills, or development) assessments as well as some key definitions of the national assessments on proficiency levels and the minimum proficiency level, for instance.

The data and information collected through the CLA 2.0 are relevant SDG 4 targets on learning outcomes (skills, or development). The specific

associated indicators include:

4.1.1 Proportion of children and young people (a) in Grade 2 or 3; (b) at the end of primary education; and (c) at the end of lower secondary education achieving at least a minimum proficiency level in (i) reading and (ii) mathematics, by sex 4.1.2 Administration of a nationally-representative learning assessment (a) in Grade 2 or 3; (b) at the end of primary education; and (c) at the end of lower secondary education 4.2.1 Proportion of children under 5 years of age who are developmentally on track in health, learning and psychosocial well-being 4.4.1 Proportion of youth and adults with information and communications technology (ICT) skills, by type of skill 4.4.2 Percentage of youth/adults who have achieved at least a minimum level of proficiency in digital literacy skills4.5.1 Parity indices (female/male, rural/urban, bottom/top wealth quintile and others such as disability status, indigenous peoples and conflict-affected, as data become available) for all education indicators on this list that can be disaggregated4.6.1 Proportion of population in a given age group achieved at least a fixed level of proficiency in functional (a) literacy and (b) numeracy skills, by sex4.7.4 Percentage of students by age group (or education level) showing adequate understanding of issues relating to global citizenship and sustainability 4.7.5 Percentage of 15-year-old students showing proficiency in knowledge of environmental science and geoscience
