The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic has revealed a need for the educational sector in Africa to adopt innovative assessment methods by leveraging technology with the increasing number of student enrollments at all levels of education. A systematic approach is also required to circumvent the challenges faced by developing countries transdisciplinary. Transdisciplinarity is still evolving and has been proven to be a viable tool for engagement, societal impact, new partnerships, fresh ideas, reality checks, new capacities, and systemic thinking, leading to new career possibilities. This study conducted a documentary analysis of standardised examination administration in Africa and proposed a framework for action adopting a transdisciplinary approach to research for problem-solving. The study used a qualitative approach for collecting and analysing data from reports and documents supported by empirical findings from existing literature. The study created a framework for action through which the gains of the transdisciplinary approach can be translated into practice.
