After what I put my students through last term, I’m sure they would love to see me sit for some exams. They would be more than happy to preside over the testing and ensure I don’t try to cheat from the teacher sitting next to me:
The Indonesian Government’s been forced to defend its attempt to test the country’s one-million teachers, after the first run was plagued with problems and allegations of corruption.
In an attempt to improve education, Indonesia has begun testing the performance of teachers, instead of students.
This week it launched the first online exam to assess the abilities of those who are educating the country’s children.
One million teachers will be tested in 3,500 locations across 33 provinces.
