EDUCATION – RELATED NOVELTIES

30. September 2015.

In the future, secondary school students will have a maximum of three written tests in a week, and not more than one test or quiz per day.  In each semester, they’ll have two control tests or essays for every school subject. Every test or essay will have to be announced to students in the classroom, but also on the school notice board or on the Internet site. Only the "blitz" checks of knowledge, those lasting less than 15 minutes, won’t have to be announced.  

These are some of the key innovations in the new Rules on the evaluation of knowledge in secondary schools, which were developed by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development and which should be published this week.  The previous rules, which regulated the assessment of knowledge in secondary schools, were published back in 1999.

The new Rules stipulate that all students will be able to improve their marks during extra classes. Regardless of what school mark the student wishes to improve, he or she will be able to reply to the teacher’s questions during extra classes, but in the presence of the head of the classroom or other pupils, so that the given school mark could be known to everyone.
