Learning assessments in Sub-Saharan Africa

The purpose of this study is to identify and analyse the practices of assessments of learning outcomes conducted in the 47 countries of sub-Saharan Africa. The study focuses in particular on international and regional assessments, national assessments, and public exams. The main objective of this mapping is to take stock of the current state of national learning assessment systems in order to have an overall view of changes in those systems in the region, recent trends, and to identify aspects that merit further examination in specific studies at the regional level, as well as positive experiences that prove effective in supporting the learning process.
