2nd READ Global Conference
October 4-6, 2010Nairobi, Kenya
The Second READ Global Conference took place in Nairobi, Kenya from October 4 – 6, 2010.

Within the overall framework of what it takes to build up a sound assessment system, this conference focused on strengthening the enabling environment—the policies, institutional arrangements, financial resources, and human resources that support learning assessment activities in a country. These elements are fundamental: getting them right is prerequisite to ensuring that learning outcomes improve and that money spent on assessment produces results.

Conference Objectives

  • Support READ countries in improving learning outcomes through strong, sustainable assessment systems
  • Provide READ countries with an opportunity to collectively, and with support from assessment experts, think through ways in which to improve the enabling environment for assessment systems
  • Hold a premiere screening of the film “When Children Learn, Nations Prosper”, which highlights the critical importance of education quality and measuring learning outcomes
  • Learn lessons from other countries’ experience in the area of the enabling environment
  • Offer a venue for those engaged in assessment work to interact, network, and consult with each other
  • Communicate the ways in which READ is working to help countries

Conference Participants

  • Delegations of assessment/education officials from the 7 READ countries
  • Practitioners in assessment from a handful of countries
  • International experts on assessment and education quality
  • Russian experts on assessment and education quality
  • 新澳彩开奖 experts on assessment and READ program staff
