The idea of assessment, while prevalent in education, needs rethinking. This paper reflects on the notion of assessment in today’s society, proposing an alternative for what it could (and should) be. By critically analyzing the role of assessment in today’s education, we conducted a hermeneutic examination of its original concept’s influence on the potential shift away from subject taxation and its current pornification. Through a discussion of assessment’s role in contemporary society and its true nature, the authors propose a shift from viewing assessment as a mere curriculum add-on to envisioning how a philosophy of assessment could profoundly transform education and society.
