Authentic assessment in the Philippine Educational System sets social objectives by ensuring that learning is not confined to memorization but applied to real-life situations. It promotes functional literacy by helping students use skills in daily life, builds 21st century competencies like problem-solving and collaboration and strengthens national identity through tasks rooted in local culture and issues. By connecting schoolwork to community needs and allowing diverse learners to showcase their strengths, authentic assessment fosters inclusivity and prepares students to become responsible, skilled and socially aware citizens who can contribute meaningfully to the nation's development.
