The Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) proudly announces its significant contribution to the development of the International Standards for Educational Assessment (IAEA), recently launched in May 2024. These globally accepted standards set benchmarks for best practices in examinations and assessments worldwide. Aligned with IAEA’s vision, these standards ensure valid, reliable, and fair assessment decisions across various contexts. They not only empower organisations by providing operational and technical guidance, but also encourage self-reflection and critical review of current practices. Pakistan was represented by Dr Naveed Yousuf, CEO of the Aga Khan University Examination Board. The committee’s diligent efforts in drafting and refining these standards have resulted in a robust framework reflecting global best practices in educational assessment.
