There has been a long history and a growing concern about the quality of our students’ assessment and the use of the assessment results. The results from both formal and informal assessments typically have been weighted heavily in decisions about the students, programmes and policies. There are malpractices in students’ assessment which can have detrimental and irreversible consequences which may affect human lives as well as the school programmes. Educational assessment affects not only the teaching and learning; it also affects the society as a whole. Because the impact of educational assessment can be complex and unpredictable, the teachers who are at the centre of its implementation must be adequately trained in all aspects of educational assessment and in the use of emerging technologies and tools in order to cope with the future of the educational system. This paper looks at the purpose and importance of educational assessment, emerging technologies in educational assessment, educational assessment , redefined issues to be considered for teachers’ competence in assessment, towards a new assessment agenda for the future, and the teachers’ competences in the future we want in our educational assessment.\u003Cbr>Keywords: Teachers’ competences, educational assessment, future education system, information and communication system. |\n| --- |\n| E-mail: [osujiojiugwo2006@yahoo.com](osujiojiugwo2006@yahoo.com). |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nAssessment has been described by Sanders and Voget (2012) , as the process of obtaining information that is used to make educational decisions about students; to give feedback to students about their progress, strengthsand weaknesses; to judge instructional effectiveness and curricular adequacy; and to make informed policy. Based on this description, it is very important that our teachers’training institutions should prepare and produce teachers who are well trained in students’ assessment. Having the capacity to make use of information properly when making important decisions about the students, instructions or curriculum , is an integral part of the professional teaching practice. This is why Rudman et al.(1980) emphasized and highlighted the importance of assessment competences for teaching and teachers, and agreed that there is the need for teachers to use a variety of assessment methods in order to make informed and  \nappropriate decisions about students’ grading, grouping, placement and instruction. Borg et al. (1986) also emphasized that training in students’ assessment procedures has been shown to be very important to teachers. According to Stiggins (1988), research reports have documented that practicing teachers spend a substantial portion of their time in activities related to students’ assessment. But according to Roeder (1972, 1973), Schafer and Lissitz (1987, 1988), research has also consistently revealed that the preparation of teachers in most universities in the area of assessment is either inadequate or absent.  \nAssessment is an integral part of any educational system . Therefore, a considerable amount of effort should be devoted to it. There are several reasons for the assessment of students. Educational assessment seeks to determine how well students are learning and is an  \nintegral part of the quest for improved education. It is avery important component of the instructional process which provides feedback to the stakeholders in education about the effectiveness of the educational services.
