Summary: | This report focuses specifically on
policies in the area of student assessment. Papua New Guinea
has focused on increasing student learning outcomes by
improving the quality of education in the country. An
effective student assessment system is an important
component of efforts to improve education quality and
learningoutcomes because it provides the necessary
information to meet stakeholders’ decision-makingneeds. In
order to gain a better understanding of the strengths and
weaknesses of its existing assessment system, Papua New
Guinea decided to benchmark thissystem using standardized
tools developed 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. The goal of SABER-Student
Assessment is to promote stronger assessment systems that
contribute to improved education quality and learning for all. |
