Officer-in-Charge Commission on Higher Education
On behalf of the Commission on Higher Education, I congratulate the Center for Educational Measurement Inc. (CEM) for organizing this year’s Conference with the theme, “ Leveraging Assessments in Education.”
This conference opens a platform for knowledge generation and exchanges in views and ideas among administrators, academicians, and other stakeholders anent issues and approaches in educational measurement and evaluation.
The event which exemplifies CEM’s mission of spreading knowledge about the use of measurement and research for the improvement of education, opens doors for dialogues on equally important related sub-themes. This underscores that while there may be a wide range of challenges relating to educational measurement, there is an equally wide range of approaches in which we, as stakeholders, can discuss and be well-versed of.
As our nation charts its path towards being a prosperous, predominantly middle-class and high-trust society, we need to develop better measurement and evaluation tools in education in order to develop future public servants who have the commitment, the character and the competence to serve the country.
Again, congratulations to CEM for organizing this event! I wish you all a fruitful discussion and a successful conference.
Mabuhay po tayong lahat!
Leonor Magtolis Briones
Secretary Department of Education
My warmest greetings to the Center for Educational Measurement Inc. for spearheading this three-day conference with the theme “Leveraging Assessments in Education.”
The Department of Education recognizes the significant role of evaluation and research on the development of assessment tools, the results of which serve as bases for policy-makers to improve the delivery of quality, accessible, relevant and liberating basic education.
We likewise applaud your organization’s decades-long commitment to continuously develop a coherent system of assessment and research through instruments and tools for assessing competencies in education.
May you continue to search and develop approaches in assessment, measurement and evaluation, as well as promote the best practices acquired in this conference.
Thank you and mabuhay!
