Assessment is a process used to understand a person's level of competence in numerical terms, while evaluation is a process used to determine a student's level of learning in education. A sound measurement and evaluation system helps teachers determine student progress and improve the quality of education. Thus, measurement and evaluation in education are essential stages for determining student performance and evaluating the success of the education system.
