Description: How can assessment and evaluation policies work together more effectively to improve student outcomes in primary and secondary schools"" Countries increasingly use a range of techniques for student assessment, teacher appraisal, school evaluation, school leader appraisal and education system evaluation. However, they often face difficulties in implementing evaluation and assessment policies. This may arise as a result of poor policy design, lack of analysis of unintended consequences, little capacity for school agents to put evaluation procedures into practice or lack of an evaluation culture.
