EXAM UTOPIA

To usher in the autumn term, we sat down with Idris Fabiyi, an education technology leader whose career has spanned secondary schools and further education. As Head of Innovation & Technology across BPP, Idris brings deep experience in digital learning, similation-based assessment, and emerging technologies to the conversation. We set out to imagine the future of exams and assessment and what it couild look like if we threw out the rule book and dropped all the barriers! What we ended up with was a really thoughtful chat, exploring the gap between what the technology promises and whether the infrastructure and readiness in schools and among students could actually support it, and when. We also do a deep dive into the post-results process that most exams officers are currently wading through, and learn why you should NEVER say 're-mark' to them!
