Monitoring Student Progress in Reading
The school year at the primary level is divided into four teaching periods. Throughout these periods, students are evaluated using ongoing assessment including work papers, follow up quizzes, and classroom activities. A test of student skills is conducted at the end of each period. These tests are administered at the school level in the first and third periods and at the educational zone level in the second and fourth periods. Students also receive a report card at the end of each teaching period including grades ranging from “excellent” to “weak” (indicating performance below the 50th percentile).
