Testing times and the thirst for data: For what?
Maisuria, Alpesh
Authors
Abstract
The emphasis on tests has made teachers and pupils depressed, harm themselves, and even turn suicidal. High-stakes testing and an oppressive data-drive accountability system de-humanise what should be an experience of enrichment, creativity and fun. Schooling is being reconfigured from being a public service to a business, and business demands data through testing.
