This article discusses the reform-oriented measures the author implemented in the year subsequent to taking up the post of Minister at the Ministry of Examination, and certain significant reforms planned for the future. Those reform measures already in place include the introduction of 4-year medium-term planning, for year-by-year implementation, and the establishment of 6 task groups responsible respectively for foreign affairs, public surveys, examination publicity, knowledge management, computerization and statistics. These groups interact with the formal Ministry departments, each complementing the others. Since their introduction, these various reforms have proven to be clearly effective, as much in terms of examination planning as in their actual administration. The main points of future reforms include the integration of the related processes of education, examination, training and employment; deeper consideration of human rights factors in examination affairs; greater integration with the international community; examinations that address core abilities; and, a thorough review of the system of certification examinations. The article considers in some detail the reasons such reforms are needed, and the orientation and methodology to be adopted.Keywords: examination policy, reform measures, international integration, core abilities, human rights
