The Results of the Most Recent Assessment (RMA) are a vital piece of the puzzle in measuring students' literacy and numeracy levels in basic education. These assessments help educators, school heads, and the Department of Education (DepEd) identify learning gaps and implement interventions early.
But collecting the data is only half the job. The other half — and just as important — is the timely and correct uploading of these RMA results to the official Numeracy and Literacy Assessment (NLA) Portal.
If you're in charge of your school’s RMA submission, read on. This guide will help you upload with confidence, precision, and without the risk of resubmission.
🔗 Here Is the Official Link to the NLA Submission Portal
To begin your upload, access the DepEd-authorized portal here:
👉 Upload RMA Results to the NLA Portal
This portal is maintained by the Bureau of Learning Delivery (BLD) of DepEd, the same office responsible for implementing literacy and numeracy initiatives in line with the Basic Education Development Plan 2030.
🧾 What You Must Upload
Your file should contain the consolidated RMA results for your school, formatted according to your division's prescribed Excel template. This typically includes:
-
Learner names
-
Grade level
-
Individual scores in Reading and Numeracy
-
Proficiency level classification
-
Class and school averages
Make sure you're using the latest template provided by your Division Testing Coordinator or downloaded from your regional drive.
📶 Before You Upload: Check These First
Before clicking that upload button, verify the following — it’ll save you time and prevent re-submissions:
-
✅ The RMA summary file is complete and final
-
✅ Your file name follows the required naming convention (e.g., Region_SchoolName_Grade_RMA.xlsx)
-
✅ File size is within upload limits (usually <10MB)
-
✅ Your computer is connected to stable internet
-
✅ You’re using a desktop or laptop, not a phone
💡 According to DepEd’s ICTS guidelines, unstable uploads often lead to corrupted files, failed submissions, or missing data on the portal.

🛡️ Why This Submission Matters
Submitting RMA results isn’t just about following orders — it’s about helping the system respond better. As stated in the DepEd MATATAG Agenda, foundational learning is now a national priority. Your uploaded data plays a crucial role in:
-
Tracking school-level learning recovery
-
Informing teacher training and remediation efforts
-
Guiding regional and national planning
In a 2023 study by UNESCO and SEAMEO INNOTECH, it was emphasized that consistent data from classroom assessments is key to building more resilient and learner-centered education systems.
✅ Final Tip: Make Your Upload Count
Think of your submission as your school’s contribution to a data-driven educational future. The sooner and more accurately you upload your RMA results, the faster DepEd can respond with targeted interventions, programs, and support for learners in need.
