Test fairness and equity are fundamental principles in educational measurement. A test should assess learners’ knowledge and skills accurately, without allowing cultural background, language, disability, gender, or socioeconomic status to create irrelevant barriers to performance.
Fair assessment strengthens trust in educational decisions, from classroom grading to admissions and certification. Examining fairness and equity requires careful attention to test design, accessibility, scoring practices, and the consequences assessments may have for diverse learners.
