Popis: The Seychelles’ education system does not provide for language support during exams, disadvantaging students with limited English proficiency. We argue that more inclusive language-in-assessment policies are needed to ensure that high-stakes exams assess subject knowledge rather than language proficiency. Suggested improvements include the implementation of language accessibility principles, multilingual options, and marking practices that focus on knowledge rather than language.
