Believing that assessment is an essential pillar in the teaching process, the United Kingdom Department of Business and Commerce (DBT) is promoting the online lecture “Evidence-Based Education: The Importance of Assessment for Impact on Learning”. The event is organized by the British Government’s Education Committee in Latin America and the Caribbean and will feature simultaneous translation into Portuguese, Spanish and English. Some panels will address topics related to the democratization of access to education policies and assessments in the Brazilian context, in addition to English certificates. UK Education Minister Nick Gibb will be the guest speaker during his first visit to Latin America. You can register till October 23 Here.

High-quality teaching processes and educational systems use assessments and certifications as central components.
