A more equitable future for education: Where shall we start from, where shall we go?

In October, Cambridge Assessment Network held an event with over 150 educators from around the world, coming together to discuss the topic of equity in education. Here, Loic Menzies, who led the session, summarises key points from his speech and highlights some of the different perspectives participants brought to the (virtual) table.

What is competence? A shared interpretation of competence to support teaching, learning and assessment

A new research report published by Cambridge University Press & Assessment explores what we mean by competence. Two of three authors, Sylvia Vitello and Jackie Greatorex, explain the background to the report, what’s in it, and why clarity about what competence means is so important.

Cambridge Assessment Network provides professional development to the assessment community. We equip practitioners with the skills and knowledge needed to design and develop effective assessments, from an understanding of the key principles to in-depth and practice-based learning in the design and delivery of successful, valid assessment.
