SAFAL assesses student competencies to identify areas for teaching and learning improvement. It is not a competition or qualifying exam

SAFAL, a competency-based assessment, does not need extra classes or specific preparation. Regular classroom teaching focused on competencies is enough

Schools participating will receive only their confidential school-level competency report, ensuring feedback is utilized fully without inter-school comparisons
