EDUCATIONAL TESTING & EVALUATION AGENCY
Educational Testing and Evaluation Agency Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, is an educational entity established in November 1998, by the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is supervised by a Board of Governors, headed by the Chief Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Higher Education Minister is the Vice Chairman and Secretary Higher Education is one of its members. Executive Director ETEA is the Secretary of the Board.
Initially, ETEA was established to undertake the administration of Entrance Tests for admission to Engineering and Medical institutions of the province in place of external testing agencies. However, the scope of activities and the objectives for the ETEA were broadened much beyond the Entrance Tests as stated in the Ordinance.
In short, it has to catalyse reforms in the examination and testing systems, impart training on these endeavours and extend the use of its electronic facilities to other institutions to bring in objectivity, transparency and efficiency.
