Pupils may be tested more often
Published: 01 January, 2007
The government is considering replacing the national tests children in England take at 11 and 14 with shorter but more frequent assessments. Proposals for consultation will suggest tests be taken when teachers feel individual pupils are ready. The idea will be piloted for two years from this spring in a number of areas. Ministers hope the "mini" tests will inject momentum into the process of raising standards - and they have no plans to do away with league tables. At present, children across the country are assessed at the end of each national curriculum Key Stage. Related articles:
