Inclusive and Effective Schools
Helpdesk Report
July 26, 2013

It was difficult to find research where effectiveness in terms of attainment was reported.

Document Library
June 30, 2013

The immediate role for expanded assessment is to sound the alarm about a widespread stagnation of learning at very low levels despite a dramatic increase in school enrolments and education expenditures.
