National Assessment and Examination Service (NAES) was established in 1998, by the Romanian Government, as the first national, independent body providing professional expertise in educational assessment and examinations in Romania. Our institution is responsible for the design and implementation of the new educational evaluation system, namely for:
- current assessment in pre-university education;
- school leaving examinations (Capacitate exam and Baccalaureate exam);
- national assessments at the end of educational cycles (now at the end of 4th grade);
- continuous teacher training in the field of assessment and examinations.
We are actively involved in national and international projects (e.g.: the British Council, QUATRO Fontys - PTH Eindhoven) and maintain professional contacts with universities, research institutes, governmental and non-governmental institutions and organisations in the field (e.g.: CITO - The Netherlands, EDC - USA etc.).
Our headquarters in Bucharest provides assessment technologies and facilities for development projects and studies in assessment and examination and our staff offers competence and expertise for co-operation to all those interested, in Romania and abroad.
Our motto is “Prove your competence with us!”
