Summary: | 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 improvededucation
quality and learning for all. Samoa has focused on
increasing student learningoutcomes by improving the quality
of education in the country. An effective student assessment
system is animportant component of efforts to improve
education quality and learning outcomes because it provides
the necessary information to meet stakeholders’ decision
making needs. In order to gain a better understanding ofthe
strengths and weaknesses of its existing assessment system,
Samoa decided to benchmark this system usingstandardized
tools developed under The World Bank’s Systems Approach for
