> abstract testing away from educators so they can focus on teaching
Some systems attempt this, at the level of individual courses, and what seems to happen is the educator focuses ever more on bureaucracy. It means that they can't be free to adjust the course to the class & the time, but must pre-commit to some plan which is approved by someone else, and the exam will be submitted many months ahead of time to get checked by other people, who do this in addition to their own teaching. All supervised by ever more administrators, incentives to make themselves unavoidable.
Some things like bar exams are external and standardised. (And GRE etc.) But trying to run every course this way seems a terrible idea.
