Abstract

In this issue of International Developments we explore collaborative efforts by ACER and the UNESCO Institute for Statistics to develop a global scale that benchmarks student performance in reading and mathematics against a common measure. This project aims to support global efforts to meet the fourth goal of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – to ensure inclusive and quality education for all and promote lifelong learning – by 2030. We also report on analysis of assessments around the world to identify how best to operate large-scale assessments in developing countries. This issue of International Developments also looks at ACER’s work on the development of an internal monitoring and evaluation system of citizen-led assessment in Mali; research investigating preschool education for children in the Philippines; an audit of the curriculum materials of 11 Southeast Asian countries to inform the development of a regional assessment framework; analysis for UNICEF of the major impediments to children’s learning in Eastern and Southern African schools; and research on the relationship between school-related factors and achievement outcomes for students in Afghanistan.
