The system of„National Assessment of Basic Competencies” National tests in literacy and numeracy Every pupil assessed in grades 6th, 8th and 10th Individual student identification number used Background data collected on students and schools Centralised scoring of tests at national level by the national managing agency (Educational Authority)

  4. Privacy Individual student identifiers and longitudinal measurement initiated by researchers unsatisfied with data quality for measuring value added Long and difficult discussions with the national parliamentary Data Protection and Freedom of Information Commissioner… … ending with an agreement on a technical solution that assures privacy

  5. The technical solution The personal identification number (PIN) is generated at school level and remains in the school Those doing the national data processing do not have access to the PIN of individual pupils Test data can be connected with individual pupils only through the PIN of the individual pupil The PIN of the individual pupil is known only by (1) the principal, (2) teachers authorized by him/her, (3) the parents of the pupil Data base available for researchers without PIN codes

  6. Reporting at four levels National level: For the public and decision-makers - available for public Maintainer level: To every local self-government that maintain schools and other maintainers - available for public School level: To every school - available for public Pupil level: To every school and parent – password (PIN) needed
