play in in shaping students’ values by rolling out a standardised test to assess moral education nationwide.
Senior officials behind the UAE Moral Education Programme introduced the Moral Education Standardised Assessment (MESA) at the end of January.
MESA will be implemented as a trial in around 70 schools in the UAE, focusing on approximately 10,000 students in Grades 3,5,7 and 9 who will take the computer-based test that combines knowledge recall and situational judgement questions, assessing students’ knowledge, understanding and awareness of the importance of character and values.
The UAE Moral Education Programme was fully implemented across the country in September 2017.
