Are high-stakes exams and assessments still relevant?

End of school exams and assessments play a critical role in shaping the futures of teenagers across the globe, but are they fit for purpose? In this webinar, OECD will discuss whether final exams and assessments reflect real-world skills and look at the impact they have on students.

The discussion will reflect findings from a new OECD report The Theory and Practice of Upper Secondary Certification. OECD’s panel of experts will consider how countries design their certificates and look at the ways in which they balance exams and teacher assessments to recognise important skills like problem-solving, creativity and collaboration.

Register for the discussion and learn how systems are working to keep qualifications fair, meaningful and manageable for today’s learners.

This is an OECD event.
