Ivanets: more than 70% of school graduates at the CE either confirmed or improved their grades

More than 70% of school graduates at the CE either confirmed or improved their grades. This was stated on the air of the ONT TV channel by the Minister of Education Andrei Ivanets, BelTA reports.

"Last year, for the first time, we tested the model of a centralized exam, which is both a final and an entrance exam to higher education institutions. Not everything went smoothly, but the most important requirement that both people and the head of state set before us was to ensure a fair and equal selection for all children. We have fulfilled this task this year. Absolutely all the students who took the centralized exam saw their work in their personal accounts. This completely removed the questions that concerned how correctly the RIKZ checks these tasks, whether the graduate made a mistake," said Andrey Ivanets.

The second fundamental change is the combination of the timing of the centralized exam and centralized testing. "This allowed us to ensure both the certification of graduates and graduates of previous years entering universities this year in absolutely identical conditions (that is, these are the same tasks, the same venues). And to remove the question of what is more difficult – a centralized exam or centralized testing. They are absolutely identical," the minister stressed. "The third task is full compliance with the school curriculum. This is also fully implemented. Initial analysis shows that more than 70% of school graduates who took the centralized exam either confirmed or improved their grades."
