Systems Approach for Better Education
Results (SABER) country report;2012 |
| description |
In 2012, Sri Lanka joined the Russia
Education Aid for Development (READ) trust fund program, the
goal of which is to help countries improve their capacity to
design, carry out, analyze, and use assessments for improved
student learning. As part of the READ trust fund program,
and in order to gain a better understanding of the strengths
and weaknesses of its existing assessment system, Tajikistan
participated in a formal exercise to benchmark its student
assessment system under The World Bank's Systems
Approach for Better Education Results (SABER) program. SABER
is an evidence-based program to help countries
systematically examine and strengthen the performance of
different aspects of their education systems. SABER-student
assessment is a component of the SABER program that focuses
specifically on benchmarking student assessment policies and
systems. The goal of SABER-student assessment is to promote
stronger assessment systems that contribute to improved
education quality and learning for all. The importance of
assessment is linked to its role in: providing information
on levels of student learning and achievement in the system;
monitoring trends in education quality over time; supporting
educators and students with real-time information to improve
teaching and learning; and holding stakeholders accountable
for results. The SABER-student assessment framework is built
on the available evidence base for what an effective
assessment system looks like. The framework provides
guidance on how countries can build more effective student
assessment systems. The framework is structured around two
main dimensions of assessment systems: the types/purposes of
assessment activities and the quality of those activities.
Assessment systems tend to be comprised of three main types
of assessment activities, each of which serves a different
purpose and addresses different information needs. These
three main types are: classroom assessment, examinations,
and large scale, system level assessments. This report
focuses specifically on policies in the area of student assessment. |
