The Ministry of Education and Research wants to introduce a permanent rule that would allow those who simply attend their final exams to graduate from basic school.
The effects of distance learning resulting from the coronavirus pandemic have caused the education ministry to rethink its approach to school exams, with the possibility that graduating from high school will not be dependent upon exam results, as has been the case up until now.
Other concerns voiced by stakeholders include fears that exams just for their own sake do not provide a clear picture of school pupils development.
The discussions mainly concern basic school leaving exams – which come at the end of the mandatory education cycle – and while a long-term plan is underway, ERR reports, the coronavirus pandemic has also brought the issue front and center.
