6. The article starts from the
epistemological assumption that it is
necessary to reassert the centrality of
school as educative agency aimed to
create culture rather than broadcast
it. We speak not about an abstract
culture, but about a situated and
concrete culture, which is essential to
have success in the working world.

start from the basic skills of each
person and spread in the end a
"culture of assessment".

assessment is:
designed to improve student performance and
teacher, it is based on tasks, criteria and standards,
known both by students and teachers, while tests
generally used at school require that its questions
are kept secret;
to improve student performance during all learning
process. So that standards, once considered very
high and only reachable by someone, become
reasonable expectations for many students, and
they provide useful feedback to students, teachers,
leaders, and policy makers .

will be able to meet the challenges of
social, economic and cultural world,
they will create new job opportunities
because they have a solid cultural
background and especially. Citizen
will use an integrated skills, in this
way they can live consciously and
they can raise themselves and others
around them, they will ultimately be
competitive and able to create a
competitive society of the future.
