National assessment reform: Core considerations for Brazil
In light of recent education reforms, Brazil is currently considering a series of
changes to the purpose and design of its Basic Education Assessment System (Sistema
de Avaliação da Educação Básica, SAEB), which has been a critical source of information
about student learning outcomes for the past 30 years. To inform these discussions,
the OECD was invited to review a set of policy proposals for reforming the current
SAEB so that it more closely aligns with Brazil’s new learning standards and provides
data to support a range of education actors - from the classroom to the ministry –
in their efforts to raise educational performance and reduce inequalities. The findings
from this OECD Review are set out in the below policy perspective.
