Abstract

This article focuses on the achievement of sustainable development with the use of formative assessment for quality education. Quality Education is the 4th goal of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It aims at ensuring inclusive and equitable education for all, and the promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all. Formative assessment has an essential role to play in the teaching and learning process that can bring about quality education. Evaluation is conducted to find out what worked, what did not work, what needs changing before you reiterate the course. Evaluation looks at the extent of progress being made in learning. It does this through measurement tools, and one of these tools is educational assessment; formative and summative. Formative assessment is assessment forlearning. It aims at enhancing learning. It helps the teacher to prepare the students for future achievement.Formative assessment also helps teachers to know the extent of the achievement of instructional objectives. It helps teachers to regularly (daily) assess student’s progress in their learning of a subject. Formative assessment is not interested in just passing examination but rather in the integral formation of the learner so that the learner can have a better future. For a sustainable development, learning must prepare students and learners of all ages to find solutions for the challenges of today and the future. This is what formative assessment does for the learner. It is transformative and therefore, helps learners to make informed decisions and take individual and collective action to change our societies and care for the planet.
