The survey examined two questions: the level of understanding of current examination procedures and the level of any recent or ongoing reforms and the attitudes of stakeholders towards examinations, especially where new examinations have been introduced or traditional assessment systems are under reform.

Five countries volunteered to take part in the survey: Georgia, Latvia, Lithuania, Slovenia, and Ukraine. The report may be useful for policy makers at all levels, assessment and examinations agencies, headmasters, secondary school teachers, and parents.
