| description |
Uganda's commitment to improving
the quality and outcomes of its education system has
translated into a parallel commitment to creating stronger,
more sustainable student assessment system, one that
includes: (i) examinations for selection and certification;
(ii) large scale assessments for monitoring education
quality at the country level; and (iii) classroom
assessments for evaluating student work and informing
ongoing teaching and learning. A number of lessons can be
learned from Uganda's experience. First, political
stability and a strong commitment to education are key
drivers for building a strong assessment system. Second,
charging a single institution with all assessment activities
can allow for clearer institutional structures, as well as
efficient coordination, development, and implementation of
assessment programs. Third, competitive salaries need to be
in place to attract and retain personnel, and training needs
to be provided for capacity building. Finally, a strong
focus on student learning and curriculum reforms can act as
important catalyst for strengthening the assessment system |
