“The association is saddled with the harmonisation of educational assessment in the continent.

“This year’s conference has the theme: “Reimaging Education Assessment in the Age Of Multiple Dimensions of Learning in a Global Society,” he said.

Mr Sani said the conference, which started on August 19, concluded on August 23.
