An effective student assessment system is an important component of efforts to improve the quality of education and learning outcomes because it provides the necessary information to meet stakeholders’ decision-making needs. To gain a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of its existing assessment system, Egypt 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. The key policy areas for this student assessment status for Egypt are as follows: (i) Classroom Assessment; (ii) Examinations; (iii) National Large-Scale Assessment (NLSA); and (iv) International Large-Scale Assessment (ILSA).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOSKILLSEMPLOYMENTDATA PROCESSINGEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONBASIC EDUCATIONEXAMINATION QUESTIONSTEACHERSFEEDBACKITEM BANKSCERTIFICATEEXAMINATION DEVELOPMENTERRORSSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEMSGLOBAL KNOWLEDGETECHNICAL QUALITYENROLLMENTEMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIESTEST DESIGNGROUPSEXAMINATION SUPERVISORSTRAINED TEACHERSEXAMINATION RESULTSHIGHER EDUCATIONGRADUATE PROGRAMSTRAINING PROGRAMSSOCIAL SCIENCESTEST ADMINISTRATORSEXAMSEXAMINDIVIDUAL STUDENTSSTUDENT WORKBOOKSCIVIC EDUCATIONEXAMINATIONTEXTBOOKSKNOWLEDGEREGISTERED CANDIDATEPROFESSIONAL STANDARDSSTUDENT RESPONSESGENDER GAPQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGTEACHER TRAININGPARTNERSHIPSEXAMINATION PROCESSGRADUATECIVIL SOCIETYEDUCATION PROJECTSCANDIDATESEXTERNAL MODERATIONMODERATIONPROVINCIAL EDUCATIONSCHOOL CURRICULUMCHOICE QUESTIONSSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTOFFICIAL CURRICULUMRELIGIOUS EDUCATIONLEARNINGEDUCATION SYSTEMRESEARCHSELECTIONSCIENCE STUDYPRIMARY SCHOOLMULTIPLE-CHOICETEACHINGSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTNEWSPAPERSUNIVERSITY STUDENTSSCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONEDUCATION SYSTEMSLEAKAGESTUDENT ASSESSMENTRELIABILITYPRIMARY SCHOOL NET ENROLLMENTCANDIDATEEXAMINATION PAPERSCIENCEEDUCATION LAWEXAMINATION OFFICESTUDENTSCORESSCHOOLSSECURE STORAGEKNOWLEDGE BASEPARTICIPATIONEDUCATIONAL REFORMCURRICULALEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCEQUALITY STANDARDSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONNATIONAL EDUCATION SYSTEMENROLLMENT RATEFACULTIESEXAMINATIONSRESEARCHERSBOARD OF DIRECTORSDECISION MAKINGUNIVERSITY STAFFNATIONAL EDUCATIONCLASSROOM ACTIVITIESINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYMEASUREMENTGRADE LEVELSDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSLEARNING STANDARDSCURRICULUMTEACHERADMINISTRATION OF EXAMINATIONSACCREDITATIONCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTPRIVATE TUTORINGEDUCATIONEVALUATIONHUMAN RESOURCESEXAMINATION SCORESINSTRUCTIONIMPERSONATIONGLOBAL KNOWLEDGE BASEGIRLSUNIVERSITYSTUDENTSGRADE INFLATIONLEADERSHIPNET ENROLLMENTQUALITY ASSURANCEFEESFOREIGN LANGUAGESLEARNING PRACTICESCERTIFICATIONCLASSROOMCLASSROOMSSCHOOLEXAMINATION DESIGNSECONDARY EDUCATIONSTUDENT LEARNINGASSESSMENT SYSTEMASSESSMENTUNIVERSITIESSTUDENT GROUPSTechnical PaperWorld Bank10.1596/24482
