In today’s era of advanced globalization, English language proficiency is not just an asset—it has become a fundamental requirement for students. Research shows that students who excel in English have broader access to educational opportunities and better career prospects. Therefore, schools must evolve curricula to prepare students who can compete globally with measurable English language skills.
One key advantage schools can offer is the ability to measure the English proficiency of both students and teachers through the Cambridge English Qualification (CEQ). Internationally recognized and administered in Indonesia through official Cambridge Assessment English Centres, the CEQ provides clear, measurable standards for English mastery. Mentari Assessment supports schools and educational institutions by preparing students and teachers for these globally recognized certifications.
What is the Cambridge English Qualification (CEQ)?
The Cambridge English Qualification (CEQ) is an internationally recognized examination aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR), a global standard for evaluating language proficiency, including English. Schools offering CEQ allow students to earn a globally recognized certificate, enhancing their credibility and prospects both locally and internationally. This certificate verifies that a student possesses the necessary English language skills to further their education both at home and abroad.
