Education Policy Questions
The role of assessment in education policy is to measure and evaluate the effectiveness of educational programs, policies, and practices. Assessment helps policymakers identify areas of improvement, make informed decisions, and allocate resources effectively. It provides data on student learning outcomes, teacher performance, and school effectiveness, which can be used to inform policy decisions, set standards, and monitor progress. Assessment also plays a crucial role in ensuring accountability and transparency in the education system by holding schools, teachers, and students accountable for their performance.
