Abstract

School leaders play an essential role in promoting better students academic achievement. They need to establish some policies which can guarantee learners performance during any examination. The purpose of this study is to understand the perspectives of school leaders in implementing assessment policies to enhance quality assessment for better student’s achievement. This action research employs qualitative study to interpret the dataset. After data analysis, results show that the assessment policy is strickly implemented; however, the improvement of students’ results has limitations. Student’s result has just small changes due to the unupdated policy and variation in implementation. The results recommend that the institute should take set clear guidelines for implementation and adjust the policy depending on the actual practice.
