This monograph summarizes the major key findings of the study. It reviews the salient features of assessment systems of SEAMEO member countries and current practices, focusing specifically on learner assessment systems at primary and secondary school levels. It also presents the challenges being faced by each member country in implementing assessment systems as well as the innovations initiated in assessment policy making.

Finally, it also provides policy recommendations for the MOEs to consider when they strengthen or improve on their student learning assessment systems. It is hoped that this publication will support SEAMEO member countries in their efforts to further strengthen or enhance their existing assessment systems which will lead to improvements in the learning achievement of their students.
