I think we need to examine down to the root cause of "fixing education".
Measuring the acquired knowledge may be a path that solves nothing.
Is our quest to reduce drop out rate? Raise the level of maths skills? Develop independent thinkers? Not pass a kid who is failing? Eliminate the lower part of the bell curve?
It seeems to me that root cause identification and proper corrective action shold be applied and not some great sounding cliches like "No child left behind" or "Tenure for perfomance".
