This paper estimates the magnitude of
liberal grade promotion in public schools in Nepal by
comparing the pass rate in internally administered exams
with the pass rate in the district-exam whose scores
determine grade transition. The pass rate in the year-end
exam is three and a half times as high as the pass rate in
the internal exams. The difference is not explained by an
increase in student effort and it is not due to the
financial incentives for which students in a random subset
of schools were eligible. The paper concludes with a
discussion of the policy implications of the findings on the
student assessment system in Nepal. |
