Fairness in Assessments

Fairness in assessments refers to the principle that all individuals should have equal opportunities to succeed, regardless of their backgrounds or circumstances. This means evaluations should be free from biases based on factors like race, gender, socioeconomic status, or educational history. A fair assessment is designed to accurately measure a person’s knowledge or skills without favouring one group over another. This ensures that everyone’s abilities are evaluated on a level playing field, allowing for a more accurate representation of their true capabilities and knowledge.
