Romania’s education system has made impressive strides over the past two decades,
with an increasing share of students mastering the basic competencies that they need
for life and work. But these average improvements mask significant disparities in
learning outcomes and attainment, with an increasing share of students leaving education
early without basic skills. This review, developed in cooperation with UNICEF, provides
Romania with recommendations to help strengthen its evaluation and assessment system,
by reducing the weight of high stake examinations and creating more space for the
formative discussions and feedback that are integral to improving learning and teaching.
It will be of interest to Romania, as well as other countries looking to make more
effective use of their evaluation and assessment system to improve quality and equity,
and result in better outcomes for all students.
