First Published in 1985, Examinations presents a balanced overview
and commentary on all the main aspects of public examinations. The
key themes are examinations and their context (historical,
political, social, and educational); functions of examination (how
they work); equity and fairness of the process; and future of
public examinations. Recurring issues in the book are the tension
between the need for common national standards and the need for
diverse individuality and the conflict between competitive
functions of examinations as instruments of selection and their
descriptive function as reports on standards of performance. The
author argues that the main aspects of examinations are not given a
prominent place in the training of teachers though public
examinations have widespread impact on society. This book will be
an essential read for scholars and researchers of education, higher
education and also for administrators and policy makers.
