One of the goals of this agenda was to improve the country’s student assessment system. In order to gain a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of its existing assessment system, FYR Macedonia 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 IGOUNIVERSITY TRAININGEMPLOYMENTDATA ENTRYDATA PROCESSINGMULTIPLE CHOICEEXAMINATION QUESTIONSPRIMARY TEACHERSTEACHERSFEEDBACKITEM BANKSERRORSSTUDENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEMSTECHNICAL QUALITYTEST DESIGNSUBJECT SPECIALISTSCHOICE ITEMSUNIVERSITY ENTRANCEMULTIPLE CHOICE ITEMSHIGHER EDUCATIONEXAMINATION RESULTSPAPERSSTUDENT DEMONSTRATIONSCOLLEGESTRAINING PROGRAMSPROFESSORSOCIAL SCIENCESTEST ADMINISTRATORSEXAMEXAMINATION SESSIONINDIVIDUAL STUDENTSPROFESSORSEXAMINATIONTEXTBOOKSUNIVERSITY ENTRANCE EXAMSEXAMINATION SYSTEMPROFESSIONAL STANDARDSSTUDENT RESPONSESTECHNICAL ASSISTANCEQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGMARKING PROCEDURESTEACHER TRAININGEXAMINATION PROCESSEDUCATIONAL AUTHORITIESSECONDARY SCHOOLSCANDIDATESHIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONSEXAM PAPERSSUBJECT SPECIALISTCHOICE QUESTIONSOFFICIAL CURRICULUMSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONMARKING SCHEMESLEARNINGEDUCATION SYSTEMRESEARCHSELECTIONPRIMARY SCHOOLART SCHOOLSEDUCATIONAL SYSTEMMULTIPLE-CHOICETEST ITEMTEACHINGQUALITY OF TEACHINGPRIMARY SCHOOLSEXPERT PANELEDUCATION SYSTEMSMARKSRELIABILITYSTUDENT ASSESSMENTDROPOUT RATESNATIONAL ASSESSMENTEXAMINATION CENTERNATIONAL CURRICULASCIENCETRANSPARENCYEXAMINATION OFFICESCHOOLSSCORESSTUDENTVALIDITYPARTICIPATIONSECURE STORAGESTUDENT ASSOCIATIONSSCHOOL-BASED ASSESSMENTTEACHER TRAINING COLLEGESQUALITY STANDARDSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONEXAMINATIONSDECISION MAKINGEMPLOYMENT GROWTHINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYMEASUREMENTLEARNING STANDARDSSUMMATIVE ASSESSMENTCURRICULUMTEACHERACCREDITATIONITEM BANKFORMATIVE ASSESSMENTSYLLABICURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTEDUCATIONEDUCATION LEADERSCLASSROOM TEACHERSEVALUATIONHUMAN RESOURCESELECTIVE SUBJECTSUNIVERSITY PROFESSORSINSTRUCTIONUNIVERSITYSTUDENTSGRADE INFLATIONQUALITY TRAININGCLASSROOMCERTIFICATIONSCHOOLSECONDARY EDUCATIONSTUDENT LEARNINGASSESSMENT SYSTEMSPECIFICATIONASSESSMENTUNIVERSITIESTechnical PaperWorld Bank10.1596/24486
