ABSTRACT
This work highlights the relationship between accountability and systems assessment, based on research on assessment policies for basic education in Brazil and Uruguay. Systems assessment has been gathering prominence within the historical-political scenario and it also shows a different unfolding in each country. This qualitative research was conducted upon the analysis of two cases (Brazil and Uruguay), document/bibliographic surveys and content analysis as well. It is inferred, consequently, that these assessments may point out to limitations towards social quality education.
