The framework providesguidance on how countries can build more effective studentassessment systems. The framework is structured around twomain dimensions of assessment systems: the types/purposes ofassessment activities and the quality of those activities.Assessment systems tend to be comprised of three main typesof assessment activities, each of which serves a differentpurpose and addresses different information needs.
