Abstract

Assessment of education has been identified as an important component of educational systems in South America and the Caribbean. Promoted and guided by UNESCO’s Education for All global initiative, a vast network of international organizations, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations to assess the quality of education in a significant number of countries in the region. This chapter attempts to answer why education should be evaluated, and how the quality of education is assessed in Latin American and the Caribbean. An overview of educational assessment processes, resources, networks, and issues within this reason are examined. Additionally, it proposes a value-based community partnership model for education.
