Evaluating what we do in education is essential for several reasons:

Improvement: Evaluation helps identify areas of strength and areas in need of improvement. It allows educators and institutions to assess the effectiveness of their strategies, programs, and interventions. By understanding what works and what doesn't, they can make informed decisions to enhance the quality of education.

Accountability: Evaluation provides a means of accountability. It allows stakeholders, including policymakers, administrators, parents, and the public, to assess the performance and impact of educational initiatives. Evaluations help ensure that resources are used effectively and that educational goals are being achieved.

Evidence-Based Decision Making: Evaluation provides empirical evidence that can inform decision making. By collecting and analyzing data, educators can make informed choices about instructional methods, curriculum design, resource allocation, and policy development. It helps move away from assumptions and intuition towards evidence-based practices.

Learner-Centric Approach: Evaluation allows educators to understand the needs, preferences, and outcomes of learners. By evaluating the effectiveness of teaching methods and learning experiences, educators can tailor their approaches to meet the diverse needs of learners and create a more learner-centric environment.
