We explain educational reforms in the Dominican Republic, where all kind of participants had a say, including representatives from civil society, academia, private sector, and international organizations with expertise in learning assessment.
The country embarked on a reform to realign assessments to a new curriculum reality, guide changes, and provide feedback to the system with relevant information on learning. The progress in the implementation of the country's roadmap is admirable. The work continues even though some challenges remain (such as understanding and using the results for decision-making at all levels of the education system).
