The Centre

The Centre was established by a grant from Pearson plc. to the University of Oxford to establish a centre for research and international development work in educational assessment.

The Centre seeks to work collaboratively with other researchers and agencies on the challenges confronting education systems in the quest for global qualifications and standards.

The inaugural Director of the Centre and Pearson Professor of Educational Assessment is Gordon Stanley who took up appointment in April 2008.
