Key Takeaways
AIThe Education and Training Evaluation Commission has issued educational performance cards for all primary and intermediate schools across the Kingdom for the fifth consecutive year, coinciding with the start of the 2026 academic year. These cards summarize the academic performance of students at each school.
The commission explained that the cards are based on the results of the 2026 national NAFES assessments, in which more than 1,300,000 students participated. The initiative is part of the Saudi model for quality assurance in education and training, and an integrated national system for measurement, evaluation, and accreditation.
The commission added that all schools and education directorates can access these cards through the digital "Tamayyoz" platform. The aim is to support curriculum planning, teaching methods, and to enhance positive aspects while addressing challenges related to student achievement and learning outcomes, in coordination with general education directorates and relevant authorities.

In addition, the commission has made detailed results available at the national, directorate, and school levels through dedicated dashboards in the Education and Training Situation Room, which it developed to display analyses of the education and training system, evaluation and measurement data, and related indicators across more than 250 data panels.
