 * || Do we need to test every child, every year? How much testing is really useful? Do we have enough confidence in our teachers to let them get on with teaching real skills as opposed to ‘teaching to test’? Are the tests globally represented, and should there be a global testing standard and curriculum, or should we focus on teaching a national curriculum? How will ATC21S work with existing systems to ensure the best results? ||
