If somebody with advanced degrees can fail a standardized test for high school students, to say nothing of students with disabilities who cannot pass those tests, what does that say about what "reformers" really want?
I will tell you: They are using age-inappropriate curriculum and tests as a weeding tool to keep huge segments of the population out of getting any kind of advanced education and to deny them any chance for upward mobility.
What I mean by "advanced education" is high school. That's what the goal is of the World Bank's education agenda, since neoliberals think education is a waste of money for the vast majority of people.
Higher education will be just an exclusive club for the rich and a handful of people willing to serve the rich.
