| Assessment in an Era of Rapid Change: Innovations and Best Practices |
The rapid social, cultural and economic changes associated with globalisation make new demands on education systems across the world. Education policies and practices, in particular curriculum and assessment, are constantly being re-examined and changed. |
| The 2006 IAEA Annual Conference will look at how assessment systems are responding to changing education landscapes through innovations and best practices in educational assessment. The great diversity of education systems represented in IAEA provides a unique opportunity for educators, policy makers and researchers to share their expertise and experiences in shaping educational assessment. |
