Notes and News.

The article presents information on the Standing Conference on Studies in Education which was organized in University of London from December 12-13, 1974. Lecturer L.Perry especially stressed the tension between the need to measure and the aim of educating, measuring the comparative achievement of individuals is not the same as discovering how educated they are. In considering measurement devices, one must consider how far they are educationally valuable, one must not simply accept some devices because they are tidier and easier to use than others. It must be remembered that teaching at any level remains a personal relationship and this relationship may become impossible when assessment enters in.
