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, DRC 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 students assessment 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 IGOSKILLSUNIVERSITY TRAININGASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCEFORMAL CERTIFICATIONSTUDENT SELECTIONDATA PROCESSINGEFFECTIVE EDUCATIONTEACHERSFEEDBACKITEM BANKSERRORSSTUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT ASSESSMENT SYSTEMSSCHOOLINGTECHNICAL QUALITYTEST DESIGNGROUPSOUT OF SCHOOL CHILDRENEXAMINATION RESULTSSUBJECT AREASPAPERSCHOICE QUESTIONTRAINING PROGRAMSTEST ADMINISTRATORSEXAMEXAMINATIONTEXTBOOKSEDUCATION SECTORKNOWLEDGELOCAL UNIVERSITIESPROFESSIONAL STANDARDSSTUDENT RESPONSESQUALITY OF EDUCATIONTRAININGEDUCATION POLICIESTEACHER TRAININGEXAMINATION PROCESSEFFECTIVE TEACHINGPRIVATE SCHOOLSCIVIL SOCIETYEDUCATION PROJECTSCANDIDATESSECONDARY SCHOOLCHOICE QUESTIONSEDUCATION BUDGETCOMPETENCIESMALPRACTICEOFFICIAL CURRICULUMSTUDENT ACHIEVEMENTVOCATIONAL EDUCATIONLEARNINGRATEREDUCATION SYSTEMRESEARCHTEACHER SALARIESSELECTIONLEARNING RESOURCESPRIMARY SCHOOLMULTIPLE-CHOICEPEDAGOGICAL APPROACHESTEACHINGEDUCATION SYSTEMSREADINGEQUITYSUBJECTSMARKSEFFECTIVE TEACHING STRATEGIESRELIABILITYSTUDENT ASSESSMENTVOCATIONAL TRAININGSCHOOLSSCORESSTUDENTPARTICIPATIONCERTIFICATION EXAMINATIONLEARNING OUTCOMESSTUDENT PERFORMANCEQUALITY STANDARDSMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONACCESS TO SCHOOLINGEXAMINATIONSACHIEVEMENTCLASS ACTIVITIESYOUTHSTUDENT TEACHERSDECISION MAKINGINSTITUTIONAL CAPACITYGRADE LEVELSNATIONAL EXAMINATIONSQUALITY CONTROLSTAFF SALARIESCURRICULUMTEACHEREXAMINATION PAPERSEXAMINATIONS COUNCILSYLLABIWRITINGCHILDRENCURRICULUM DEVELOPMENTQUALITY EDUCATIONEDUCATIONCLASSROOM TEACHERSUNIVERSITY TEACHERSEVALUATIONHUMAN RESOURCESINSTRUCTIONPUBLIC SCHOOLSUNIVERSITYSTUDENTSCOMMUNICATIONLEADERSHIPTECHNICAL EDUCATIONQUALITY ASSURANCEFEESCERTIFICATIONCLASSROOMCLASSROOMSEXAMINATION DESIGNSCHOOLSECONDARY EDUCATIONTERTIARY EDUCATIONSTUDENT LEARNINGASSESSMENT SYSTEMORAL EXAMEXAMINATION CENTERSEDUCATION STUDENTSASSESSMENTUNIVERSITIESSTUDENT GROUPSTechnical PaperWorld Bank10.1596/24470
