Academy Federal School and Dugga create educational opportunities for children in Myanmar

Nay K Z, Head of IT and Partnership at Academy Federal School

During difficult times, the COVID-19 pandemic and the military coup in Myanmar caused several children to lose their educational opportunities, which led to the founding of the Academy Federal School (ACFS) in May 2022. Despite Myanmar's current period of revolution, ACFS is committed to creating opportunities for children to continue their education. The school is working on expanding educational opportunities for children. Due to the school�s digital platform, its students and teachers need a more reliable digital assessment solution. To accomplish this, ACFS has been utilizing Dugga Assessment for all types of tests, assignments, and exams.

1. Which are Academy Federal School�s favorite features of Dugga?

The variety of question types to suit different subjects! A survey of teachers at our school tells us that 65% of teachers use MCQ questions the most, 15% use Correct Answer, and 20% use all the different question types such as Matching, STEM, Fill Gap, and Essay type, depending on their subjects.

2. How is Dugga used at your school?
We initially planned to use Dugga for final exams such as first and second semester assessments. Today, we use the platform more often, even for small formative assessments and tests. It is easy to create questions in Dugga without taking up too much time.

3. What advice would you give to other schools preparing for Future Learning Assessment?
We encourage other schools to use all the various question types, not just essays. With Dugga, teachers can collaborate and easily share their questions and exams with colleagues. It�s also easy to (de)anonymize exams, everything is secure, and it saves time.

4. How was the response among the pupils/students and parents?
We received overall positive feedback about Dugga. Since the start of the transition to digital education, parents, students, and teachers have loved using Dugga.

5. How are you planning to use Dugga onwards?
While we use Dugga for Grade-4 students (upper primary) to Grade-11 students, we are also planning to use Dugga for lower primary students. At ACFS, Dugga is used for all types of tests, including readiness tests, formative tests, and summative assessments.
