2008-2009
Our Annual Review provides an interesting snapshot of activity across the Cambridge Assessment Group and each year Cambridge Assessment presents its formal Annual Report and accounts to the Council of the University of Cambridge.
This year has been another significant and successful one for the Group in many ways, which is especially encouraging when set against the current backdrop of not only the present uncertainties in the global economy but also the forthcoming first awards of several new UK qualifications.
We continued to celebrate our 150th anniversary with a series of highly successful events, culminating in the 'best ever' IAEA conference, according to delegate feedback, attended by over 500 delegates from around the world. And we have been busy around Westminster sharing our concerns that the Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill – which establishes the new English qualifications regulator Ofqual – will fall short of delivering an independent, effective and accountable new regulator.
Our reputation as experts in assessment has been augmented with the launch of the Cambridge Approach which acts as our manifesto, setting out our principles for designing, administering and evaluating assessment in an accessible and succinct format. It has already received a very positive reception from staff and its external endorsement from two leading academics would suggest that it is timely as well as pertinent.
Internationally we continued to be involved in a number of education reform projects to help raise standards of education around the world.
We also celebrated and had time to reflect on the sheer pace of change in assessment in the UK with the 10th anniversary of our UK exam board, OCR, which was formed in 1998 when UCLES and the RSA Examinations Board joined forces.
