The presenter introduced American Councils for International Education: (ACTR/ACCELS) which is an international non-profit organization working to advance education, research, and mutual understanding across the United States, Canada and the nations of Southeastern Europe, Eurasia, and South Asia. Founded in 1974 as association for area and language professionals, it has a staff of over 370 professionals who design, implement and support innovative programs in education, through professional development and scholarly research. He examines the Kyrgyz National Testing Initiative: 2002-2006: ?These days it?s not enough to be an A student in order to get into university on a scholarship. In order to successfully study at university more is needed than simply knowledge received in school. The ability to think logically, analyze, make independent conclusions and the ability to find alternative approaches are needed. In this environment, I consider National Testing, which gives an independent and objective evaluation of test takers? abilities, to be an huge achievement.?
