Ministry of Education - budget for 2005
... it is important that a pupil or an apprentice is acquainted with and makes use of portfolios in work practice as well as in assessment. The Ministry will therefore encourage to try out portfolios with external examination as an alternative to centrally given exams. Portfolio assessment means that the pupil/apprentice documents learning processes or products in a portfolio that can be uses for assessment.
