The participants in this study were six female and two male teachers who varied at different levels of experience and preparation. Through interviews and questionnaires, the researcher guided the study to determine: a) what are the attitudes and perceptions of selected primary school teachers at my school, concerning the effectiveness of the continuous assessment program as a tool for assessing students, b) what do selected primary school teachers at my school consider to be the challenges that they will encounter in implementing the continuous assessment programme in their respective classes, c) how has continuous assessment affected teacher performance at my school as a result of this process, and d) what support systems do these teachers have that will assist them in the delivery of the program. The study conducted a Mixed Methods study and used the questionnaire and interview instruments to guide the collection of data for analysis. The perceived challenges that emerged were discussed according to the following headings: Benefits of continuous assessment; teachers’ perception concerning continuous assessment; attitude towards assessment; curricular challenges; instructional challenges; adequate resources and curriculum reform and effective implementation.
