The study evaluated pupil progress with particular emphasis on pupil marks. The report is divided into seven sections: (1) introduction, (2) statement of the problem, (3) historical overview of marks and marking systems, (4) present practices, (5) assumptions commonly held about school marks, (6) an analysis of these assumptions, and (7) summary and conclusions. Satisfactory evaluation of pupil progress is determined by the extent to which it can assist students attain the goals of their educational experience. The evaluation should not compare one student to another but should stimulate the student toward future education to reach his goal in life. (Author/MC)
