I listened in to an on-line debate today held by Cambridge Assessment about exam standards. A couple of things jumped out at me from the summaries at the end.
Anastasia de Waal, Director of Family and Education at Civitas said that exam bodies were "very good" at responding to the need for weaker qualifications that could be successfully passed. I agree!
Professor Roger Murphy, Centre for Developing and Evaluating Lifelong Learning, University of Nottingham. Assessment should follow curriculum, it shouldn't lead it. Too often assessment messes up education by placing teachers under pressure to "teach to the test". A major issue!
