The participants of this qualitative case study were purposefully selected for semi-structured interviews from three head of departments and focused group discussions from two groups comprises six members each. The study revealed that research participants mostly rely on assessment as ‘of’ learning approaches to assess learning of students, but to some extent they also give importance to other assessment approaches such as assessment as ‘for’ learning. Moreover, findings suggest that to focus on holistic development of learners, teachers to employ learning responsive pedagogies. However, teachers assert that they face many challenges in widening the knowledge domain of learners as the nature of assessment hardly focuses 20% of the curriculum during semester for promotions to the next level. The study recommends that by introducing an integrated assessment approaches could enable teachers to orient self with a wider picture of curriculum and pedagogies which could better focus on how to increase their knowledge domain.
