Islamabad, The Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training has released the National Achievement Test (NAT) 2023 findings for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, shedding light on student performance across key educational subjects.



According to Ministry of Federal Education and Professional Training, the NAT 2023 evaluated student achievements in core subjects such as English, Urdu, Math, and Science across Grades 4 and 8. The findings revealed that rural Grade 4 students outperformed their urban counterparts in language arts, highlighting the impact of parental involvement on educational outcomes. However, the report identified significant areas for growth, particularly in Math proficiency and specific content areas like Urdu grammar and Earth and Space Science, where Khyber Pakhtunkhwa students lagged behind national averages.



The report’s insights are intended to guide educators and policymakers in developing targeted interventions to address these gaps and enhance the overall educational framework in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The Ministry encourages stakeholders to engage with the data through interactive infographics available online and to participate in discussions aimed at refining educational strategies to ensure equitable and comprehensive learning opportunities for all students in the region.
