Education Evaluation and Assessment

Our educational evaluation and assessment work helps governments determine what students should know and be able to do in relation to standards and curriculum.

AIR designs and conducts impact evaluations of programs and policies using experimental and quasi-experimental designs. We work with donors, governments, and foundations to ensure that our studies provide them with evidence-based findings that address their programmatic and policy needs. See a list of AIR’s evaluation projects in low- and middle-income countries.

We use formative, summative, diagnostic, and international assessment to measure student and system performance and accountability in schools and districts.
