The document discusses continuous assessment as a relevant tool for quality education. It defines key concepts like curriculum and assessment and examines the relationship between learning and assessment. Different assessment types and curriculum planning models are described. The principles of the process curriculum model emphasize developing learners through a variety of authentic and participatory assessments over time, making continuous assessment well-suited as it focuses on individual progress, understanding over rote knowledge, and both formative and summative feedback. Implementation of a continuous assessment pilot program in Zambia from 2006 to 2009 observed positive impacts from its use.
