The Educational Testing and Assessment Research Centre (ETARC), founded in 2006, is an important research unit in the field of educational testing and assessment in Macao, and has conducted various research projects through collaboration with domestic and international agencies and academic research teams. Some of the notable projects include the triennial Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA), which is conducted in collaboration with the Organisation for Economic Co‑operation and Development, and the development of science and language evaluation tools, a project jointly conducted with mainland universities for the National Assessment Centre for Education Quality under the Ministry of Education of China. Prof Cheung Kwok Cheung in FED joined UM in 1992, and has been the director of ETARC since its establishment. When talking about his career in education research, Prof Cheung says that he was particularly struck by Macao’s PISA results in 2009 as they showed that local students' reading performance was relatively weak. The news aroused considerable concern in the education sector. As a response, ETARC researchers conducted a detailed analysis of the reading performance of local students and disseminated the findings as well as teaching recommendations to different stakeholders, with the aim of helping students improve reading skills. In recent years, as the Macao SAR government continues to increase its investment in education, teacher training institutions, such as UM, have done a lot of work aimed at promoting reading and classroom teaching. The work has proved effective as teachers have strengthened their skills and the reading performance of students has steadily increased. ‘Knowing the problems and weaknesses in Macao’ s basic education system, such as those reflected in the PISA 戴寧怡教授 Prof Dai Ningyi 張國祥教授 Prof Cheung Kwok Cheung
