The Texas House Public Education Committee on Tuesday approved a bill proposing the replacement of the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test with a new student evaluation system. 

The STAAR test, currently used statewide to assess student performance in core subjects such as reading, mathematics, science, and social studies, has faced ongoing criticism from educators, parents, and lawmakers.

Concerns have focused on the pressure the test places on students and the limited scope of its results in reflecting overall academic progress.

The proposed legislation aims to introduce a continuous assessment model that evaluates student proficiency throughout the school year, rather than relying on a single high-stakes exam.

Supporters argue that the new approach would give teachers more flexibility and offer a more comprehensive picture of student learning.

According to the bill, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) would be responsible for developing and implementing the new system.

The agency would be required to collaborate with educators, school administrators, and academic experts to ensure the new assessment method aligns with state educational standards.
