| Summary: | National governments and international
agencies recognize the key role of student assessment in
building an effective education system. The assessments
provide information on whether all students in an education
system are learning, and how well. Without good assessment
information, it is impossible to know whether a
system's policies and practices are working or how they
might be changed.SABER-Student Assessment
documents and analyzes the quality of student assessment
systems to help countries generate and use better assessment
data. The goal is to expand the scope and quality of
learning for all. More than 30 countries at different levels
of development have applied SABER-Student Assessment to
evaluate the quality of their assessment systems and enact
reforms to strengthen them. Many low- and middle-income
countries have a strong commitment to improving their
assessment activities, but they will need sustained support
and commitment from the international community to ensure
that the changes take hold. Evidence-based tools such as
SABER-Student Assessment can help countries generate and use
better assessment data to expand the scope of learning for
all students. |
