The Centre for Testing Technologies, Ukraine, published the study Results of a Survey of Attitudes Towards the Reform of Examination Systems in Selected Post-Socialist Countries of Europe, as part of the project “Assessment for Increasing Quality, Equal Opportunities, and Accountability in Education.”
Supported by the RE:FINE program of the Open Society Education Support Program, the project organized a network of 16 countries in order to facilitate the exchange of experience and best practices on assessment issues amongst education stakeholders, and raise the capacity of agencies and experts working in the area of assessment. The project was coordinated by the Centre for Testing Technologies, Ukraine.
The main purpose of this survey was to allow interested members of the Assessment Network to gather information about the understanding of, and the attitudes towards, their centralized examination systems and current reforms in this area. The survey examined two questions: the level of understanding of current examination procedures and the level of any recent or ongoing reforms and the attitudes of stakeholders towards examinations, especially where new examinations have been introduced or traditional assessment systems are under reform.
Five countries volunteered to take part in the survey: Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Ukraine. The report may be useful for policy makers at all levels, assessment and examinations agencies, headmasters, secondary school teachers, and parents.
The English version of the report is available for download.
