| IEA‘s PASA Program was designed to enhance the capacity of the IEA for comparative international assessment and region-specific support, and to enhance the capacity of regional assessment institutions in Africa and Latin America for comparative regional and sub-regional educational assessment and the use of assessment information. This evaluation addresses five main questions: (a) Has IEA implemented PASA as planned? (b) Has PASA contributed to improving the capacity of developing countries in the area of assessment of learning? (c) Have PASA partners (regional assessment bodies) undertaken activities or developed products designed to enhance the capacity of national or regional assessment institutions? (d) Has IEA taken steps to establish a global partnership for assessment? and (e) Has PASA affected educational policy in developing countries? Data for this evaluation come from reviews of documents and individual interviews with representatives of IEA, IEA General Assembly members from developing countries, national research coordinators from developing countries, World Bank staff and PASA partners. |
