| Summary: | Iraq has focused on increasing student
learning outcomes by improving the quality of education in
the country. 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). |
