:13:47. > :13:51.through the tests three times at primary school then again in the
:13:52. > :13:54.third year of secondary school, and in primary schools the tests might
:13:55. > :14:02.not actually be so radically different to the tests they replace,
:14:03. > :14:05.they vary from council area to council area but in secondary
:14:06. > :14:09.schools anecdotally at least there is concern among teachers.
:14:10. > :14:12.So why won't they be published? The unions were worried about
:14:13. > :14:15.publishing the raw data, they were not just worried about unofficial
:14:16. > :14:19.league tables, but the risk that the raw data being so readily available
:14:20. > :14:24.would lead to teachers simply putting their effort into teaching
:14:25. > :14:27.children to pass the test, undermining the changes in schools
:14:28. > :14:31.in receipt years that were designed to give teachers much more freedom.
:14:32. > :14:36.That is not such a concern with simply publishing the figures and
:14:37. > :14:41.how many students are at the expected standards in literacy and
:14:42. > :14:44.numeracy. We are pleased the First Minister confirm that teachers'
:14:45. > :14:48.professional judgment will be the yardstick used to measure young
:14:49. > :14:51.people's progress. The concern was that standardised assessments might
:14:52. > :14:55.replace teachers' professional judgment and that would have been a
:14:56. > :15:02.narrowing of the experience so that is welcome, the focus on teachers'
:15:03. > :15:06.judgment. There are still worries about the details of the tests and
:15:07. > :15:10.whether they will help children and teachers, or will they become some
:15:11. > :15:13.kind of bureaucratic burden. The idea of any serious confrontation
