Standardized Testing Act

Basis : Asses students preformance, allow students to pass that grade, or exit out of high school

Breathing Room : Tests can be customized by the government, this is an outline of what should be done


AFT - AIN Finals Tests - Used as a "finals" to determine final grade

- Includes Secondary Subjects (set by government)
- Writing Section, and Bubble Choice

AST - AIN Standardized Tests - Used to determine national GPA, etc. (for research and grades (grading is optional))

Standardized Grading for Tests
All tests will be graded using points

The total number of points will be out of 1000 and each section in the tests will have an allocated amount of the 1000

Format
For setting this up, core subjects will count for 75% of the total points, and secondary subjects 25%

Test Scores will be reported in this format :

Example:

For FEE
FE Examinations will be totally up to the government in scoring

Arcacia is absolutely against this idea. Education is a sovereign issue and we will accept no interference with curricula.

Fairview disagrees with this, too because each nation government should decide the educational system, also we can not have a unique system for the entire union because countries are different from each others.

The proposal hasn't been finalised yet, so I will hold judgement on it.

Let's see what we can do because I don't agree with some things like the AIN tests, they should be optional, there should be only used to enrich the CURRICULUM.

As I said, they are all modular, and some may be admitted and other not.

And the Testing is just to standardize them so they can be all the same, this will help in international schools, etc.

If I'm correct, they are similar to the British IGCSE, which is similar to a GCSE and is tested all over the world.

Arcacia has very strict testing and has very high standards when it comes to testing international students. We are not about to dumb down our system for the sake of "no child left behind."

If one is not up to Arcacian standards, one does not gain admittance to an Arcacian university.

Standardised tests have proven to do more harm than good in every single arena that has been forced to adopt them.

Arcacia will block this legislation and if it passes, will not adopt, nor recognise it.

Corraile will not amend tests and the education system on the whole solely for the purpose of standardisation of foreign students. We feel that to gain admittance into a local educational institution, one must pass the national standard.

I think it's good for countries that haven't educational system. But for other countries, it's important what they keep them system

That's a good idea, but we shouldn't apply for every

As I said its adoption based

And many parts are removable, remember this is a 4 in one proposal, so you can remove some parts and others can keep
