ICEQC-R-2023-10 — Global Education Quality Annual Report 2023: Technology, Recognition and Rights-Based Governance cover

Publication record

This is the controlled English edition. Evidence and institutional status are stated as at the evidence cut-off date.

Executive summary

The 2023 annual education-quality account links technology, recognition and rights-based governance through one institutional question: which public or authorised body is responsible for the decision, evidence, protection and correction? Technology can support teaching and administration, but its presence does not establish educational value. Recognition can support mobility, but entry into force of an international convention does not establish national readiness. Comparative learning evidence can inform policy, but a common score does not remove differences in population, opportunity and uncertainty.

The 2023 Global Education Monitoring Report on technology is within the annual cutoff. It reinforces the need to examine access, evidence, governance, cost and the terms on which technology enters education. Institutions should begin with an educational purpose, consider alternatives, test equity and capacity, protect data, and retain an exit route. Usage and procurement are intermediate states, not educational results.

Pilots are useful where they answer a bounded decision question. The record should state population, duration, comparison, exceptional support, cost, privacy, accessibility, evidence and decision date. A pilot should lead to continue, adapt, extend, stop or further enquiry. Indefinite trial status can create dependency without a public decision.

The Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education entered into force on 5 March 2023. Readiness requires competent authorities, fair procedures, authoritative information, reliable records, reasons, appeal and trained decision-makers. Recognition bodies should identify substantial differences relevant to purpose rather than demand identity of programmes.

Displaced and mobile learners need timely admission, placement, language support, record reconstruction and recognised progression. Documentation requirements should be proportionate. Missing records should not be treated as missing learning. A provisional decision can protect continuity where it has a review date and does not become a permanent lower status.

International learning comparisons after pandemic disruption require caution. Assessment populations, participation, curriculum, administration and baseline may have changed. Country ranking is fragile where differences are small relative to uncertainty or where coverage differs. Levels, distributions and robust patterns should take precedence over a precise ordinal position.

Rights-based governance applies across all three domains. Learners should receive accessible information, protection of personal data, non-discriminatory access and a route to challenge consequential decisions. Public authorities should state legal competence, purpose, resource and review. Shared responsibility should not erase the primary decision-maker.

The standards domain requires clear interpretation of minimum entitlements, recognition criteria, data protection and valid assessment claims. The indicator domain requires definitions, denominators, coverage, uncertainty and revision. The improvement domain requires evidence from pilot to operating change and result. The policy domain requires alignment of authority, finance and institutional capability.

Regional differentiation matters because connectivity, institutional capacity, qualification structures, mobility patterns and assessment participation vary. A global framework should support fair and intelligible decisions without pretending that institutional conditions are uniform.

Public assurance should distinguish commitment, activity, service and result. A convention in force, a policy adopted, a device purchased or a test administered establishes a specific institutional fact. It does not automatically establish fair recognition, effective teaching or improved learning. Each later claim requires its own evidence.

The central annual recommendation is an authorised decision record. For every material technology, recognition or assessment decision, it should state the right or educational purpose, population, responsible body, criteria, evidence, resource, protection, distributional test, reason and review date. Unresolved limitations should remain visible until corrected.

    Construct before score

    The substantive capability should be defined before the instrument or scale is selected. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Construct before score within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; institutional performance should be judged by learner-facing consequences rather than announced activity. Task domains, cognitive demand, language and expected use should follow the construct. A composite score can summarise performance only where its components support a meaningful common interpretation.

    Proficiency reporting should explain what learners at a threshold can demonstrate under the assessment conditions. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Construct before score within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the competent body should identify the affected population, decision authority and review point. A cut score is a decision rule, not a natural boundary. Borderline classification and uncertainty should remain visible where consequence is material.

    Population before comparison

    The target and observed populations should be stated separately. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Population before comparison within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the public account should separate observed evidence from explanation and attributed effect. The target is the population to which the claim applies; the observed population is those represented after frame exclusions, non-response and valid participation. Their difference is evidence, not administrative detail.

    Coverage should be reviewed by geography, institution, status, disability, language and other material characteristics. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Population before comparison within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the finding must retain its population base, limitation and available remedy. Weighting can adjust known selection probabilities but cannot automatically repair an unknown or unobserved excluded population.

    Conditions before attribution

    An observed score arises under specific instructional and assessment conditions. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Conditions before attribution within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; implementation should connect the learner entitlement to resources, professional practice and follow-up. Interpretation should examine opportunity to learn, attendance, language, task access and relevant context. It should not infer teacher or institutional cause from a cross-sectional difference alone.

    Where results support resource or curriculum decisions, the responsible authority should identify which condition can change and how later evidence will test it. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Conditions before attribution within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the equity judgement should identify people absent from the observed or served population. Measurement becomes constructive when it leads to a proportionate educational response.

    Pathway

    The protected public interest in mandate and shared governance concerns the lawful roles of education, health, protection and other bodies in securing learner participation. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Pathway within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; comparison is warranted only after definitions, coverage and timing have been reconciled. If coordination can be described broadly while no body owns a consequential decision, shared action can produce a gap rather than an integrated response. The required course is to define primary duties, shared tasks, deputies, escalation and review.

    Under pathway, review concerns how a learner moves from identification through response and follow-up. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Pathway within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; institutional performance should be judged by learner-facing consequences rather than announced activity. Authorities should map trigger, handover, receipt and closure, subject to the principle that referral is incomplete when receiving capacity is unknown. Reasons should remain proportionate to the consequence and competence of each body.

    Learners and families should not be required to navigate institutional boundaries that public bodies can resolve through an authorised pathway.

    Equity

    Planning for mandate and shared governance should begin with the lawful roles of education, health, protection and other bodies in securing learner participation. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Equity within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the competent body should identify the affected population, decision authority and review point. A foreseeable failure arises where coordination can be described broadly while no body owns a consequential decision. Participating bodies should define primary duties, shared tasks, deputies, escalation and review.

    The equity standard requires consideration of which learners cannot use the ordinary pathway. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Equity within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the public account should separate observed evidence from explanation and attributed effect. Decision-makers should test disability, language, status, geography and cost, because equal procedure does not establish equal access. Dependencies on temporary finance, personal contacts or unavailable specialists should be explicit.

    The arrangement should be tested under ordinary and disrupted conditions. A pathway dependent on one person or system requires a controlled alternative.

    Capacity

    Mandate and shared governance requires explicit improvement control because it concerns the lawful roles of education, health, protection and other bodies in securing learner participation. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Capacity within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the finding must retain its population base, limitation and available remedy. The risk is that coordination can be described broadly while no body owns a consequential decision. A competent body should define primary duties, shared tasks, deputies, escalation and review.

    Review of capacity should determine which staff, time, finance and facilities make delivery feasible. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Capacity within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; implementation should connect the learner entitlement to resources, professional practice and follow-up. It should verify workload, competence and dependency and acknowledge that an unfunded shared task should remain visible as a risk. Personal and protection information should remain lawfully controlled.

    Correction should address the actual failure: identification, handover, capacity, delay, communication, service quality or follow-up. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Capacity within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the equity judgement should identify people absent from the observed or served population. Additional coordination activity may not resolve it.

    Evidence

    The public purpose of mandate and shared governance is the credible provision of the lawful roles of education, health, protection and other bodies in securing learner participation. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Evidence within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the decision should remain reasoned, contestable and capable of revision. Where coordination can be described broadly while no body owns a consequential decision, institutional reporting can overstate both reach and protection. Authorities should define primary duties, shared tasks, deputies, escalation and review.

    For evidence, bodies should identify which dated record demonstrates operation and limitation and should use service, institution and affected-person evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Evidence within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; comparison is warranted only after definitions, coverage and timing have been reconciled. Any conclusion must respect that plans and aggregate activity do not establish effective coordination.

    The final account should show whether the learner received a timely and appropriate service and whether education access, participation and continuity were protected.

    Protection

    Applied to mandate and shared governance, this requirement has a distinct coordination consequence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Protection within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; institutional performance should be judged by learner-facing consequences rather than announced activity. In mandate and shared governance, cross-sector coordination should secure the lawful roles of education, health, protection and other bodies in securing learner participation. The principal risk is that coordination can be described broadly while no body owns a consequential decision. Authorities should therefore define primary duties, shared tasks, deputies, escalation and review. The implication for referral and correction should be recorded.

    The protection test asks which safety, privacy and professional boundaries govern action. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Protection within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the competent body should identify the affected population, decision authority and review point. Participating bodies should minimise data and retain qualified judgement. The governing proposition is that information sharing should not create avoidable harm. The record should identify population, service, authority, status and date.

    Viewed through public authority, Applied to mandate and shared governance, this requirement has a distinct coordination consequence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Protection within Part I — Mandate and shared governance: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the public account should separate observed evidence from explanation and attributed effect. Coordination is valuable when it changes the learner-facing service. Institutional contact, meetings and referral counts are intermediate evidence rather than final outcomes. The implication for referral and correction should be recorded.

Any conclusion must respect that equal procedure does not establish equal access. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    From the standpoint of continuity, For continuity, emergency and improvement, the authority should test this safeguard against learner and receiving-service evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Equity within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the equity judgement should identify people absent from the observed or served population. The final account should show whether the learner received a timely and appropriate service and whether education access, participation and continuity were protected. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    Capacity

    In continuity, emergency and improvement, cross-sector coordination should secure the operation, monitoring and correction of coordination during disruption and recovery. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Capacity within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the decision should remain reasoned, contestable and capable of revision. The principal risk is that arrangements can fail when ordinary contacts, sites or services are unavailable. Authorities should therefore prepare alternatives, test pathways, track unmet need and revise responsibilities.

    For an equitable service judgement, For continuity, emergency and improvement, the authority should test this safeguard against learner and receiving-service evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Capacity within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; comparison is warranted only after definitions, coverage and timing have been reconciled. The capacity test asks which staff, time, finance and facilities make delivery feasible. Participating bodies should verify workload, competence and dependency. The governing proposition is that an unfunded shared task should remain visible as a risk. The record should identify population, service, authority, status and date. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    Applied to continuity, emergency and improvement, this requirement has a distinct coordination consequence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Capacity within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; institutional performance should be judged by learner-facing consequences rather than announced activity. Coordination is valuable when it changes the learner-facing service. Institutional contact, meetings and referral counts are intermediate evidence rather than final outcomes. The implication for referral and correction should be recorded.

    117

    Evidence

    Evidence is material because the operation, monitoring and correction of coordination during disruption and recovery cannot be inferred from a memorandum or coordination structure. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Evidence within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the competent body should identify the affected population, decision authority and review point. In this domain, arrangements can fail when ordinary contacts, sites or services are unavailable. The immediate improvement response is to prepare alternatives, test pathways, track unmet need and revise responsibilities.

    Under the relevant public mandate, For continuity, emergency and improvement, the authority should test this safeguard against learner and receiving-service evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Evidence within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the public account should separate observed evidence from explanation and attributed effect. A credible arrangement should establish which dated record demonstrates operation and limitation and should use service, institution and affected-person evidence, recognising that plans and aggregate activity do not establish effective coordination. Local evidence should be capable of changing a central account of service availability. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    In a credible implementation account, For continuity, emergency and improvement, the authority should test this safeguard against learner and receiving-service evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Evidence within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the finding must retain its population base, limitation and available remedy. Where a receiving service is unavailable, the referring body should not close the case administratively. Interim protection, escalation and education continuity should be stated. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    118

    Protection

    For institutional follow-through, Applied to continuity, emergency and improvement, this requirement has a distinct coordination consequence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Protection within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; implementation should connect the learner entitlement to resources, professional practice and follow-up. The protected public interest in continuity, emergency and improvement concerns the operation, monitoring and correction of coordination during disruption and recovery. If arrangements can fail when ordinary contacts, sites or services are unavailable, shared action can produce a gap rather than an integrated response. The required course is to prepare alternatives, test pathways, track unmet need and revise responsibilities. The implication for referral and correction should be recorded.

    At the next review decision, For continuity, emergency and improvement, the authority should test this safeguard against learner and receiving-service evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Protection within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the equity judgement should identify people absent from the observed or served population. Under protection, review concerns which safety, privacy and professional boundaries govern action. Authorities should minimise data and retain qualified judgement, subject to the principle that information sharing should not create avoidable harm. Reasons should remain proportionate to the consequence and competence of each body. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    With the affected population in view, Applied to continuity, emergency and improvement, this requirement has a distinct coordination consequence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Protection within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the decision should remain reasoned, contestable and capable of revision. Learners and families should not be required to navigate institutional boundaries that public bodies can resolve through an authorised pathway. The implication for referral and correction should be recorded.

    119

    Monitoring

    For a timely administrative response, Applied to continuity, emergency and improvement, this requirement has a distinct coordination consequence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Monitoring within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; comparison is warranted only after definitions, coverage and timing have been reconciled. Planning for continuity, emergency and improvement should begin with the operation, monitoring and correction of coordination during disruption and recovery. A foreseeable failure arises where arrangements can fail when ordinary contacts, sites or services are unavailable. Participating bodies should prepare alternatives, test pathways, track unmet need and revise responsibilities. The implication for referral and correction should be recorded.

    In the evidence available locally, For continuity, emergency and improvement, the authority should test this safeguard against learner and receiving-service evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Monitoring within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; institutional performance should be judged by learner-facing consequences rather than announced activity. The monitoring standard requires consideration of which indicators show receipt, delay, unmet need and education consequence. Decision-makers should track the complete pathway and complaints, because referral volume alone does not establish benefit. Dependencies on temporary finance, personal contacts or unavailable specialists should be explicit. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    Within the stated service boundary, For continuity, emergency and improvement, the authority should test this safeguard against learner and receiving-service evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Monitoring within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the competent body should identify the affected population, decision authority and review point. The arrangement should be tested under ordinary and disrupted conditions. A pathway dependent on one person or system requires a controlled alternative. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    120

    Review

    Viewed through public authority, Applied to continuity, emergency and improvement, this requirement has a distinct coordination consequence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Review within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the public account should separate observed evidence from explanation and attributed effect. Continuity, emergency and improvement requires explicit improvement control because it concerns the operation, monitoring and correction of coordination during disruption and recovery. The risk is that arrangements can fail when ordinary contacts, sites or services are unavailable. A competent body should prepare alternatives, test pathways, track unmet need and revise responsibilities. The implication for referral and correction should be recorded.

    For operational assurance, For continuity, emergency and improvement, the authority should test this safeguard against learner and receiving-service evidence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Review within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the finding must retain its population base, limitation and available remedy. Review of review should determine how failure changes protocol, resource and responsibility. It should assign correction, deadline and verification and acknowledge that repeated coordination language should not substitute for accountable improvement. Personal and protection information should remain lawfully controlled. The conclusion should retain the material limitation and responsible body.

    In the corresponding local account, Applied to continuity, emergency and improvement, this requirement has a distinct coordination consequence. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Review within Part XII — Continuity, emergency and improvement: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; implementation should connect the learner entitlement to resources, professional practice and follow-up. Correction should address the actual failure: identification, handover, capacity, delay, communication, service quality or follow-up. Additional coordination activity may not resolve it. The implication for referral and correction should be recorded.

    Part XIII

    Conclusions

    121

    A complete pathway

    Every coordination pathway should identify authority, learner population, trigger, consent, receiving service, handover, receipt, follow-up, interim protection and review. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on A complete pathway within Part XIII — Conclusions: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the equity judgement should identify people absent from the observed or served population. It should remain usable during disruption.

    122

    Evidence for improvement

    Public bodies should examine whether services were received and whether education participation was protected. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Evidence for improvement within Part XIII — Conclusions: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the decision should remain reasoned, contestable and capable of revision. Delay, refusal, inaccessible procedure and unmet need should lead to assigned correction.

    123

    Final conclusion

    Cross-sector coordination improves education where it makes services more timely, accessible and accountable. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Final conclusion within Part XIII — Conclusions: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; comparison is warranted only after definitions, coverage and timing have been reconciled. Shared action should strengthen rather than diffuse responsibility and should remain answerable to the learner and the public interest.

    Part XXIV

    Learning comparison after disruption

    Part I

    Measurement proposition

    1

    Construct before score

    The substantive capability should be defined before the instrument or scale is selected. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Construct before score within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; institutional performance should be judged by learner-facing consequences rather than announced activity. Task domains, cognitive demand, language and expected use should follow the construct. A composite score can summarise performance only where its components support a meaningful common interpretation.

    Proficiency reporting should explain what learners at a threshold can demonstrate under the assessment conditions. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Construct before score within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the competent body should identify the affected population, decision authority and review point. A cut score is a decision rule, not a natural boundary. Borderline classification and uncertainty should remain visible where consequence is material.

    2

    Population before comparison

    The target and observed populations should be stated separately. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Population before comparison within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the public account should separate observed evidence from explanation and attributed effect. The target is the population to which the claim applies; the observed population is those represented after frame exclusions, non-response and valid participation. Their difference is evidence, not administrative detail.

    Coverage should be reviewed by geography, institution, status, disability, language and other material characteristics. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Population before comparison within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the finding must retain its population base, limitation and available remedy. Weighting can adjust known selection probabilities but cannot automatically repair an unknown or unobserved excluded population.

    3

    Conditions before attribution

    An observed score arises under specific instructional and assessment conditions. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Conditions before attribution within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; implementation should connect the learner entitlement to resources, professional practice and follow-up. Interpretation should examine opportunity to learn, attendance, language, task access and relevant context. It should not infer teacher or institutional cause from a cross-sectional difference alone.

    Where results support resource or curriculum decisions, the responsible authority should identify which condition can change and how later evidence will test it. For the 2023 annual account of technology, recognition and rights-based governance, the proposition has a direct bearing on Conditions before attribution within Part I — Measurement proposition: whether innovation remains subject to public responsibility and learner rights; the equity judgement should identify people absent from the observed or served population. Measurement becomes constructive when it leads to a proportionate educational response.
