The goals and content for this book are derived from three
important and ongoing efforts: to advance the institution of
education and to promote educational opportunities to children and
youth worldwide, to promote effective assessment policies and
practices that enhance sound educational practice, and to address
the need to develop tests and other assessment practices in less
developed countries as well as to augment and alter a number of
traditional assessment practices in developed nations. These three
issues provided the focus for a four-day conference that was held
at St. Hugh's College, Oxford University, in June 1993. The
conference theme-Test Use with Children and Youth: International
Pathways to Progress-underscores the importance of addressing
testing issues as efforts to improve educational opportunities for
children and youth move forward. Leaders from more than seventy
nations met at the United Nations sponsored World Summit for
Children in 1990 to support ratification of the Convention on the
Rights of the Child. Worldwide recognition that every individual
has the right to develop her or his potential led to the
ratification of provisions setting minimum standards for children's
education."
