Assessment for Learning Program

Following principles of fair assessment practice, the Assessment for Learning Unit monitors and reports on curriculum implementation, student learning and the K-12 school environment in which they occur. These activities are undertaken with a view to improve programs and professional practice and inform policy and decision making for the good and equitable education of all Saskatchewan students.

Saskatchewan participates in the following assessments:

  • Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP);
  • Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA); and
  • Progress in International Reading Literacy (PIRLS). 

This page provides a brief description of the three programs and links to their respective web sites.
