These guides provide research-based information and answer questions such as:
- What are the purposes of these studies?

- What concerns have been raised about these studies?

How can we ensure that data will provide evidence for informed decision-making?
Good decision making at all levels of an education system is facilitated by accessible, relevant and reliable information. Many indicators provide useful input to educational decision making; but the most important indicators are those which address the promotion of student learning. Education systems monitor student learning by collecting, analysing and reporting student achievement data. Given that these studies are both time consuming and expensive, it seems prudent to reflect on this effort. This publication is also available in electronic form from the ACER website
