Modern methods of education are not entirely different but just an improvement of the methods that have existed and been used before. Some of the modern education methods include the use of groups in teaching and learning, incorporation of interpersonal activities in teaching and learning, use of modern technology such as computers to enhance the teaching and learning activities among others. In the implementation of modern education methods, it has established that the assessment procedures prove a challenge and even a stumbling block to excelling of the students. It was established that these students in the school have the necessary knowledge and skills that they can apply but the problem is they need proper guidance to ensure they apply these learnt skills wisely and correctly.

The institutional assessment does not follow up strictly on how well they practice and grasp the concepts they have acquired from the schools. Even if the students are brilliant, when lacking proper guidance and assessment there is little they can do in terms of developing the skills that they have acquired which limits their development. The educational environment is constantly undergoing changes and there is need for constant revision to ensure that there is constant revision so as to broaden and realign existing skills practiced while incorporating new skills across the entire fields involved of learning, teaching and assessment.

One of the challenges in the assessment of education is the communication links and channels between the students and their supervisors and assessors. Communication channels should be revised to include the latest technologies so as to allow the student constant contact with their assessors. This should be done to ensure that the student and the assessor are comfortable with the process and that the student is able to benefit as much as possible from the assessment. Students need to keep in constant communication with their teachers and assessors as they require their guidance and professional advice as they carry out their practices and therefore this means that the student should be able to be in touch anytime they need these professionals.

This helps them combat challenges they may experience in terms of the different concepts they may experience from what they have learnt on teaching and service delivery. Students of the different schools need to be made away of the assessment policy and what it expects of them.

The policies that are in existence from our assessment of students of the different academic institution are confusing to the student because students are not actually aware of the actual contents in these policies. At times there arose confusion over the procedures and the expectations of the outcome of the policy. Rather than the policy focusing entirely on the students, there should also be a code of practice to monitor the assessors. Assessment policy should always be provided for the assessors by the different organizations. The assessment policy being used to monitor the code of practice for the students and their assessors is a crucial document that should be subject to constant revision from time to time to keep it relevant to is function.

Policy writing should be done by professionals who will provide a complete all inclusive assessment tools that will be used in doing the assessment of the students without the confusion and raising many concerns as witnessed. The essence of assessment is to find out how much the student doing on the front of applying the skills he has acquired over a given period of time. Such an initiative to monitor the student is most important to the development and improvement of the student and therefore it is only relevant that the student is provided with the notes of the assessor so as to take note of the progress in terms of the strengths and weaknesses of his work. What the assessors do by providing the students with sheets that contain generalized information is detrimental to the student as one fails to specifically identify the challenges that he/ she is having and therefore limited improvement. Notes made during the assessment sessions should all be well documented and made available for the students to go through them as this provides a forum for growth for the student. Availability of these notes with students contact and one on one between the students and their teachers and assessors helps them develop.
