- W1520683654 abstract "Public examinations in developing countries play a critical role in the selection of students for participation in the educational system. The examinations tend to be highly academic, bear little reference to the everyday lives of students, are limited to pencil-and-paper tests, and are geared towards discriminating between high achieving students. Because of the high stakes attached to examination performance, teachers teach to the examination with the result that inadequate opportunities to acquire relevant knowledge and skills are provided for students who will leave school at an early stage. Practices associated with examinations that may create inequities for some students include scoring practices, the use of culturally inappropriate questions, the requirements that candidates pay fees, private tutoring, examination in a language with which students are not familiar, and a variety of malpractices. The use of quota systems to deal with differences in performance associated with location, ethnicity, or language-group membership also creates inequities for some students. The available evidence does not indicate that examinations create inequities between genders. Ranking schools on the basis of students' examination performance may not provide a fair assessment of the work of schools." @default.
