Global Assessments
Formative and summative assessments are crucial for global education readiness as they help tailor learning to diverse student needs and measure their ability to apply knowledge in a global context. Formative assessments foster critical thinking, collaboration, and adaptability by allowing students to engage in reflective practices throughout their learning journey. Summative assessments evaluate their preparedness to address complex global challenges and demonstrate mastery of global competencies.
