The Effects of System Wide Testing: Issues Raised by a Case Study in a Developing Country.

Dockrell, Bryan

Studies in Educational Evaluation, v17 n1 p41-49 1991

A case study in a developing country raises issues about the use of tests for educational selection. Issues concerning secondary school admission in developing countries have counterparts in admission criteria for higher education in developed nations. However, one case study of one system cannot provide definitive conclusions for others. (SLD)
