Summary
Summary
A survey of technical claims made for improvements in assessment, focusing on the GCSE, the National Curriculum and the National Vocational Qualifications in the UK, with discussion of the policy agenda within which the improvements are introduced and of the ways in which the focus on assessment results threatens to narrow the debate on school effectiveness and educational standards.
