KAMP-NASTA

KAMP Nasta stands for the National Assessment for Scientific Temperament & Aptitude. It is an assessment program that evaluates students' scientific knowledge and skills in various subjects, such as Science, EVS/Social Science, Mathematics, and Digital Literacy/Computers/Information  Technology. The assessment is conducted for students in grades 5th to 10th. The Academic-Sub Committee of KPMC is responsible for developing the framework and test specifications that serve as the blueprint for the assessment. The committee sets the assessment schedule, determines the content that should be measured, and reviews and refines the evaluation questions. 

The NASTA framework doesn't advocate any particular approach to instruction, but it provides a foundation for meaningful conversations about high-quality educational standards and assessments.
