A FEW weeks ago, hundreds of English teachers nationwide began receiving letters from their respective education departments informing them to be ready to sit for another English test, called Aptis.
A check with the British Council website found that Aptis is “a modern and flexible English assessment system designed to meet the diverse needs of organisations and individuals around the world.” These teachers were purportedly found to be “not competent” based on the earlier Cambridge Placement Test (CPT) dubiously administered to them.
