The aim of this article is to analyze and understand the practices present in the learning assessment processes in Angola. The research was conducted with teachers and students from two secondary schools in the Cabinda province. Questionnaires, interviews, observations and document analysis were used for data collection. The research shows that, although teachers adopt more contemporary assessment concepts, summative assessments in which tests are also used as a form of discipline control predominate in their daily practice. The data show the continuity of assessment practices involving the exchange of grades for money in the surveyed schools, although these practices are on decline for different reasons.

Keywords : LEARNING ASSESSMENT; ANGOLA; SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT.
