| Summary: | In 2009, Angola joined the Russia
Education Aid for Development (READ) trust fund program, the
goal of which is to help countries improve their capacity to
design, carry out, analyze, and use assessments for improved
student learning. Systems Approach for Better Education
Results (SABER)-student assessment is a component of the
SABER program that focuses specifically on benchmarking
student assessment policies and systems. The goal of
SABER-student assessment is to promote stronger assessment
systems that contribute to improved education quality and
learning for all. The importance of assessment is linked to
its role in: providing information on levels of student
learning and achievement in the system; monitoring trends in
education quality over time; supporting educators and
students with real-time information to improve teaching and
learning; and holding stakeholders accountable for results.
The SABER-student assessment framework is built on the
available evidence base for what an effective assessment
system looks like. The framework provides guidance on how
countries can build more effective student assessment
systems. The framework is structured around two main
dimensions of assessment systems: the types/purposes of
assessment activities and the quality of those activities.
Assessment systems tend to be comprised of three main types
of assessment activities, each of which serves a different
purpose and addresses different information needs. These
three main types are: classroom assessment, examinations,
and large-scale, system level assessments. This report
focuses specifically on policies in the area of student assessment. |
