Assessment of the educational attainment of students 2014, para. 26
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The primary objective of national assessment systems is to appraise the educational attainments of students through the entire national education system. This should be driven by a human rights-based approach and the humanistic mission of education, rather than by its mere instrumental role, and by preserving and fostering the noble cause of education. The values and principles propounded by the United Nations Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training "as a means to give full effect to the right to education worldwide" must be publicized in order to make them an integral part of the educational attainments of students. "Universally recognized human rights values and democratic principles should be embedded in any education system."
