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, Iraq 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 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 IGOSKILLSEDUCATION STRATEGYSTUDENT SELECTIONEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONNATIONAL SCHOOL CURRICULUMEXAMINATION QUESTIONSNATIONAL SCHOOLTEACHERSFEEDBACKITEM BANKSERRORSSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEMSTECHNICAL QUALITYENROLLMENTGROUPSEDUCATION POLICYEDUCATION ASSESSMENTEXAMINATION SUPERVISORSTEACHER TRAINING PROGRAMSEXAMINATION RESULTSHIGHER EDUCATIONSUBJECT AREASPAPERSFIELD TESTINGTRAINING PROGRAMSEXAMEXAMSTEACHER UNIONSEXAMINATIONLITERACYTEXTBOOKSEDUCATION SECTORKNOWLEDGEASSESSMENT FRAMEWORKREGISTERED CANDIDATEEDUCATION OFFICIALSPROFESSIONAL STANDARDSTEACHER SUPERVISIONSTUDENT RESPONSESEDUCATION OPPORTUNITIESQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGEDUCATION POLICIESTEACHER TRAININGEDUCATORSEXAMINATION PROCESSEDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIESEDUCATION PROJECTSCANDIDATESEXTERNAL EXAMINATIONEXTERNAL MODERATIONEXTERNAL CERTIFICATIONMODERATIONHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSSCHOOL CURRICULUMCHOICE QUESTIONSOFFICIAL CURRICULUMLEARNINGEDUCATION SYSTEMRESEARCHSELECTIONMULTIPLE-CHOICETEACHINGQUALITY OF TEACHINGCURRICULUM GUIDELINESSCIENTIFIC ORGANIZATIONEDUCATION SYSTEMSSUBJECTSLEAKAGEASSESSMENT ASSESSMENTSTUDENT ASSESSMENTCANDIDATEEXAMINATION PAPEREXAMINATION OFFICESTUDENTSCORESSCHOOLSSECURE STORAGESCHOOL DISTRICTEDUCATION INSTITUTIONSPARTICIPATIONCURRICULALEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCEQUALITY STANDARDSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONENROLLMENT RATEFACULTIESEXAMINATIONSACHIEVEMENTCLASSROOM LEVELYOUTHDECISION MAKINGNATIONAL EDUCATIONINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYMEASUREMENTDISADVANTAGED STUDENTSLEARNING STANDARDSCURRICULUMTEACHEREMERGENCY EDUCATIONCURRICULAR FRAMEWORKCHILDRENPEDAGOGICAL RESOURCESEDUCATIONPRIMARY PURPOSETRAINING OPPORTUNITIESEVALUATIONHUMAN RESOURCESEXAMINATION SCORESINSTRUCTIONIMPERSONATIONSCHOOL ADMINISTRATORSUNIVERSITYSTUDENTSSCIENTIFIC RESEARCHGRADE INFLATIONLEADERSHIPGLOBAL EDUCATIONCLASSROOMCERTIFICATIONCLASSROOMSEXAMINATION DESIGNSCHOOLSTUDENT LEARNINGASSESSMENT SYSTEMOPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERSASSESSMENTUNIVERSITIESASSESSMENT ACTIVITYTechnical PaperWorld Bank10.1596/24475
