Does Testing Drive the System?

Hatheway, Garth E.

School Administrator, v45 n11 p11 Dec 1988

In Canada, tests and test results do not appear to be driving the school system. Canadian universities do not require Canadian applicants to provide SAT or ACT scores for admission. Most provinces administer their own testing programs aimed at all students, not only the college bound. Developing the whole child is an important objective. (MLH)
