Implementing E-assessment
This page will contain all the information you need to take part in our monthly poll. The topics will include both current issues, such as examinations in the exam season, as well as issues relating to more fundamental concerns, such as teacher assessment and its role in public exams.
Your responses will be used to present media campaigns as well as provide the IEA with information to answer questions by ministers, or to present arguments to ministers.
Your responses will be anonymous, but will provide important information for the IEA to use publicly
Here you will find the results of our monthly poll presented in pie-chart format, showing the percentage of people who responded in a particular way to each question. You can then judge how the rest of the assessment community thought about the issues, compared to your own views.
