Key stakeholders discussing teaching, learning and assessment for adults

On February 13-15 2008, the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and
Development (OECD)'s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation
(CERI) brought together policy makers, researchers and practitioners
from over twenty countries to focus on formative assessment in adult
literacy education. The conference was also the occasion to launch a new
report, Teaching, Learning and Assessment for Adults:  Improving
Foundation Skills.
