OECD Reviews of Evaluation and Assessment in Education: Luxembourg 2012
This book provides, from an international perspective, an independent analysis of major issues facing the educational evaluation and assessment framework, current policy initiatives, and possible future approaches in Luxembourg.
Education system evaluation
Over recent years, Luxembourg has made concerted efforts to prioritise the evaluation of the education system. Notably, Luxembourg has started to build evaluation capacity at the national level and has introduced a monitoring system. The chapter presents an overview of the major tools used to monitor the education system and approaches to evaluate the implementation of new initiatives within the system, plus reporting systems to feed back results from education system evaluation. Based on an analysis of strengths and challenges in the current approach to education system evaluation, the chapter presents a set of recommendations to validate and further develop the monitoring system, to improve reporting of system-level information and to further build education system evaluation capacity.
