The main problem we are talking about is the different ways of valuing pupils and the different approaches to it in other countries. The aim of this paper is first to get acquainted with the overall evaluation of pupils in primary education in our countries and then with the ways of evaluating pupils in some other countries. More importantly, the aim is to recognize the difference between student assessment in Croatia, England and Finland without challenging or glorifying either way, but a structural approach to each way highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. We encounter the main features of assessment, and these are monitoring, checking, and grading pupils. Also, we are learning about history, types, and methods of assessment. Then we are meeting the school subjects evaluation criteria and behavior in primary education in Croatia. This is also the case with basic subjects in England and Finland. In conclusion, approaches to evaluating pupils in primary education differ, but they all have their advantages and disadvantages. So, from a global point of view, it would be the best to combine their advantages to improve evaluation overall. Because there is always room for improvement.
