Abstract
Syria 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 to improving education quality and
learning outcomes as it provides the necessary information
to meet stakeholders’ decision-making needs. In order to
gain a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses
of its existing assessment system, Syria decided to
benchmark this system 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.
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.
