Seminars on sixth form assessment
Post-primary teachers will attend seminars' this month to discuss what will happen with sixth-form assessment once the University Entrance examination is abolished.
The main aim of the seminars was to present the issues to teachers, said the Canterbury president of the Post-Primary Teachers’ Association, Mr David Ayers, yesterday. The seminars, which were being held nationally, would take place in school time
and would be treated as staff meetings. “What is decided in the next few months will set the course of senior assessment for a number of year,” Mr Ayers said. “Teachers’ opinions are not the only opinions being sought. Assessment is an important part of education and the community at large is concerned about the changes happening.” The University Entrance examination in the sixth form is due to be abolished by 1986. .
