CATs StepCheck is for government agencies

English has become a basic life skill with transformative benefits for individuals and societies. Research shows a direct correlation between the English skills of a population and the economic performance of the country, and a correlation between English proficiency and the Human Development Index, a measure of education, life expectancy, literacy, and standards of living. As the working language of many international organisations, English gives competitive and economic advantages and facilitates international business and trade.
