| description |
The Gambia has shifted the focus of its
education reforms from school attendance to student
learning. This shift came with a stronger assessment system
to measure learning. This paper highlights how assessment
data are being used in The Gambia to contribute to education
quality and learning. While assessment data were used mainly
for selection purposes in the past, the emphasis now is on
monitoring and supporting learning. Greater data
availability has allowed for greater school accountability
as well as for more systematic feedback on the curriculum
and teacher training. Several factors converged to allow for
more effective use of assessment data, including a favorable
political environment, the development of strategic
partnerships, and the building of local assessment capacity. |
