Schools – Variables 70 CONCLUSIONS 73 ANNEXES 79 2 INTRODUCTION The education of children, adolescents and adults has been growing in importance with formal school instruction becoming longer and an increasing number of adults receiving continuous education. As education is becoming more widespread, a growing percentage of particular age groups can benefit from ever higher levels of the educational system. Yet more advanced levels of education are available only to those who perform better. In this context, increasingly measurable and objectively verifiable school achievements can either promote or be a hindrance to further educational, professional and personal careers. The Polish educational system has been undergoing reform since the mid-1990s. The highlights of the educational reform were the establishment of lower secondary schools (gimnazjum) and the introduction of an external system for the assessment of student progress. Since 1999, the educational system has consisted of compulsory uniform six-grade primary schools, compulsory uniform three-grade lower secondary schools (representing the first level of secondary education) and various types of upper secondary school (offering two to three years of instruction).

  • COVID-19: Guide to International Secondary Assessment in 2020
    UK ENIC Special Report COVID-19: Guide to International Secondary Assessment in 2020 March 2021 Foreword Since March 2020, UK ENIC has been tracking the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on education globally. During the past year, the majority of learners across the world have been affected by school closures. This disruption inevitably had a significant impact on school examinations and assessment; in many cases, national examinations were postponed, adapted or cancelled. We have been providing a summary of changes to education delivery and announcements regarding national examinations on our blog: Charting the impact of COVID-19 on UK admissions and recruitment. As COVID-19 continues to have an impact on education, the article is still continuously reviewed and updated with the latest information, and remains an essential and up-to-date resource for those working in international education. This report brings together the information compiled for the blog throughout 2020 to provide an overview of upper secondary assessment for over 120 qualifications worldwide, and analysis of the different approaches adopted globally. The report also examines how changes to assessment affected student performance and grading. Understanding grades in context is key to evaluating student performance and informing admissions decisions. By publishing this special report, UK ENIC aims to support both the work of those involved in international student recruitment and admissions, and fair recognition of qualifications awarded in 2020.

In making their choices, boys can play to their academic strengths and develop their intellectual passions. In the Sixth Form, boys will find that they need to take more responsibility for organising themselves. Divisions are smaller, the atmosphere is more informal, and beaks will generally look for more initiative from boys in their approach to academic work. We will expect boys to read widely, both in relation to and beyond their subjects.

    Different Tests, Same Flaws: Examining the SAT I, SAT II, and ACT by Christina Perez Spurred in part by University of California (UC) President Richard Atkinson’s February 2001 proposal to drop the SAT I for UC applicants, more attention is being paid to other tests such as the SAT II and ACT. Proponents of these alternative exams argue that the SAT I is primarily an aptitude test measuring some vague concept of “inherent ability,” while the SAT II and ACT are “achievement tests” more closely tied to what students learn in high school. While the origins of the exams and the rhetoric of their promoters may differ, the SAT I, SAT II and ACT actually exhibit many of the same flaws and shortcomings. Are Admission Exams Really that Different from One Another? The roots of the SAT I lie in the racist eugenics movement of Christina Perez is the university testing reform advocate the 1920s.
