    Brief

    English and School Education seek a qualified supplier to validate a custom-developed pupil test for reading comprehension and related language skills. The validation will support a randomized control trial (RCT) planned for the 2027 school academic year in South Africa and Ethiopia to measure the efficacy of a teacher training initiative. The supplier will be responsible for: (a) conducting Item Response Theory (IRT) analysis to measure test item strength; (b) assessing adherence to socio-cognitive frameworks; and (c) evaluating construct validity. The process involves schools in both countries administering the test, after which the supplier will receive test data for comprehensive statistical analysis. Strong stakeholder relationships with both ministries of education ensure high probability of school participation and data collection success. The supplier should have expertise in psychometric validation, educational assessment, and statistical analysis of educational tests.
