EXERCISE 2 Read the excerpt and answer the following questions that follow. I Standardised tests ensure that no student is discriminated despite their different socio-economic background, race or ethnicity. This increases the credibility and reliability of standardised examinations. Moreover, as in any standardised test, the questions are developed by experts, making them fair, which eliminates any elements of bias or favouritism. China is an example of a 5 country that has excelled through the use of standardised testing. The Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) 2012 report states that 28 million 15-year-olds from 65 different countries and economies were assessed for Mathematics, Science and Reading. The paper-based test was conducted for two hours and it was found that Shanghai- China topped the 10 mean scores for Mathematics, Science and Reading, meanwhile the United States slipped in its ranking for all the three subjects. This further strengthens the argument that standardised testing is indeed a proven formula to achieve academic excellence. II However, opponents of standardised testing believe that this approach can 15 create a stressful environment for both teachers and students. Teachers teach for the sake of examinations and may not get extra mile to help their students in and outside the classroom. Instead, students will be given additional homework as part of the drilling' and 'memorising process. Those who do not obtain good grades in the examinations might be labelled as weak or poor 20 students. This should not be the case, as there could be other external factors at play. In addition, unhealthy competition between schools can rear its ugly head as more funding is usually given to high-achieving schools. For any educational reforms to take place in this instance, standardised testing), it is in the hands of the policymakers and other stakeholders to make the crucial 25 decision.
