What is this / What does it represent?
EdTech can help us detect problems AND give us solutions!
Why did only 1% of candidates pass the Teacher Test (TET)?
Insights from EdTech
An effective way of testing if a paper
is too long is to check the number of
candidates leaving questions towards
the end unanswered. Here we find no
such increase showing that the paper
was NOT too long. Two other items
which have high unanswered
numbers are also shown. These
suggest low candidate skill levels.

EdTech isn’t Optional – key areas
1. Large Scale Assessments
2. Personalised Learning
3. Tough Problems like Reading
"If you learn how to look at data in the
right way, you can explain riddles that
otherwise might have seemed
impossible. Because there is nothing
like the sheer power of numbers to
scrub away layers of confusion and
contradiction“
- S.D. Levitt (Freakonomics)
"In any system, if the data collection is
complicated and time consuming,
efforts will go into that and not into
what is really important – analysing
that data and getting insights from it“
(source unknown)
