An effective student assessment system is an important component of efforts to improve education quality and learning outcomes because it provides the necessary information to meet stakeholders’ decisionmaking needs. In order to gain a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of its existing assessment system, Oman 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 the student assessment status 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 BANKSERRORSSTUDENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEMSTECHNICAL QUALITYENROLLMENTGROUPSEXAMINATION SUPERVISORSEXAMINATION RESULTSHIGHER EDUCATIONSUBJECT AREASGENERAL EDUCATIONGRADUATE PROGRAMSCOLLEGESTRAINING PROGRAMSTEST ADMINISTRATORSEXAMSEXAMEXAMINATIONLITERACYTEXTBOOKSEDUCATION SECTORKNOWLEDGEENROLMENTSCOGNITIVE DEVELOPMENTREGISTERED CANDIDATEPROFESSIONAL STANDARDSSTUDENT RESPONSESQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGEDUCATION POLICIESTEACHER TRAININGEXAMINATION PROCESSPRIVATE SCHOOLSGRADUATEEDUCATION PROJECTSCANDIDATESSECONDARY SCHOOLEXTERNAL MODERATIONMODERATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSCHOICE QUESTIONSSCHOOL CURRICULUMSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTOFFICIAL CURRICULUMLEARNINGRATEREDUCATION SYSTEMRESEARCHSELECTIONMULTIPLE-CHOICETEACHINGGRANTSNEWSPAPERSUNIVERSITY STUDENTSSCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONEDUCATION SYSTEMSREADINGLEAKAGESTUDENT ASSESSMENTRELIABILITYCANDIDATEEXAMINATION PAPERENROLLMENT RATESSCIENCEEXAMINATION OFFICEPUBLIC EXPENDITURESTUDENTSCORESSCHOOLSPARTICIPATIONCURRICULALEARNING OUTCOMESTEACHER TRAINING COLLEGESSTUDENT PERFORMANCEQUALITY STANDARDSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONTECHNICAL EXPERTISEEXAMINATIONSCURRICULUM FRAMEWORKYOUTHDECISION MAKINGUNIVERSITY STAFFCLASS SIZEINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYMEASUREMENTGRADE LEVELSLEARNING STANDARDSCULTURAL DEVELOPMENTLEARNING OBJECTIVESCURRICULUMTEACHERCHILDRENCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTEDUCATIONTRAINING OPPORTUNITIESEVALUATIONHUMAN RESOURCESELECTIVE SUBJECTSPHYSICAL EDUCATIONEXAMINATION SCORESEDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENTINSTRUCTIONIMPERSONATIONPROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTEXAMINATION HALLSGIRLSUNIVERSITYSTUDENTSLEADERSHIPFEESWOMENCLASSROOMCERTIFICATIONCLASSROOMSEXAMINATION DESIGNSCHOOLSECONDARY EDUCATIONSTUDENT LEARNINGASSESSMENT SYSTEMASSESSMENTUNIVERSITIESTechnical PaperWorld Bank10.1596/24481
