Bilingual Assessment Service Information

The Ministry of Education has developed a Bi-lingual Assessment Service that enables state and state integrated schools to access a targeted group of trained Resource Teachers: Learning and Behaviour (RTLBs) to administer bi-lingual assessments of the learning needs of students from language backgrounds other than English through bi-lingual assessment. A bi-lingual assessment can distinguish between language learning needs, additional special learning needs and social/emotional needs, through dual assessment in first language and English.
