V. Capacity Building
1. Where will we get employees for this new examination board?
A. We are developing applicants who are enthusiastic, committed and eager to learn. AKU-EB is a member of both the International Association for Educational Assessment (IAEA) and the Association of Commonwealth Examination and Accrediting Bodies (ACEAB). Both offer short courses and internships. The Director, AKU-EB initiated the centre for Formative Assessment Studies of the University of Manchester, UK, and designed and helped to teach its M.Ed. (Assessment and Evaluation), a specialist course in public examining policy and practice with graduates working in the Boards of over 20 countries. The AKU-Institute of Educational Development (AKU-IED) is starting a certificate programme in the same area in collaboration with AKU-EB. Capacity is being built.
