Program Evaluation

Program Evaluation/Assessment provides for comprehensive and quality research in developing procedures and monitoring implementation for achievement and/or further reform. Cognitive assessments and questionnaires are important tools for examining the influences of educational instruction for example and other background variables, and aims at conducting studies for the validity of assessments.  Some important questions and emerging issues program evaluation help to answer are:

  • How can reform programs be designed to ensure that the people most affected by reform are involved in designing and implementing the reform?
  • How can information about education indicators, policies, and practices be disseminated and incorporated into reform efforts to make the most impact in a country?
  • What changes in curriculum and teacher training will most effectively promote education for marginalized populations – girls, disabled, indigenous language groups, child laborers, etc.?
  • What interventions most effectively mitigate the devastating effects of catastrophic illnesses such as malaria and HIV/AIDS on the teaching population and school-going children?
  • What effects do changes in teaching and learning practices have on knowledge acquisition and learning outcomes?

Continuous assessment is necessary to campaign for behavioral change, policy reform and planning, community mobilization and communication strategies.
