Center for Educational Research and Assessment
In a collaborative effort involving senior faculty and staff members from UE, with the technical assistance of the Canada Pakistan Basic Education Project (CPBEP), a set of policy recommendations (Research Policy Formulation and Research Policy Implementation Strategy) was drafted in July 2007. In fall 2007, in line with a recommendation in the policy for creating a structure responsible for the universitys research function, UE created the Centre of Educational Research and Assessment (CERA) as a temporary structure. As a pilot centre, CERA will create a research culture in UE.
CERA is a model for guiding research activities on the UE Campuses, and also for providing resource for those activities in the form of trained researchers. As a focal activity, CERA is administering four researches. Three of these are pilot projects; the fourth one is developed by UE faculty working for CERA and has attracted external funding from National Education Foundation (NFE) Government of Pakistan, Islamabad.
