Student Assessment as a Political Construction--The Case of Uruguay.
Benveniste, Luis
Education Policy Analysis Archives, v8 n32 Jul 2000
Discusses the interplay between assessment policies in Uruguay and state-society relations. Shows how national student evaluation has come to symbolize an agreed-on mechanism of social accountability by which the central government upholds its responsibility for educational provision as it intervenes on behalf of impoverished communities.
