Competency-Based Assessment

Competency-based assessment is like a "skills check" to see if someone can actually dosomething, rather than just knowing about it. Instead of focusing on grades or test scores, it measures whether a student has mastered specific skills or knowledge. For example, instead of passing a math class by getting a certain grade, a student might need to show they can solve real-world problems using math. In short, it’s about proving you can apply what you’ve learned, not just memorize it.
