9th grade exams are no longer counting on the student’s grade, data by school should not be revealed. The ideas of the National Council of Education.
The National Education Council (CNE) You want to change some assessment methods, both on each student or about each school.
A new CNE opinion suggests to the government that the 9th grade final test ceases to tell the note Student end. Currently, the exam counts and is relevant: 30% of the final grade.
The idea of the body is that 9th grade students perform new learning monitoring tests (ModA), that have no impact on the final evaluation.
The justification of the CNE: “Making the external evaluation system that now proposes more comprehensive and consistent as a whole, which will imply the need to produce changes in the legislative articulate,” says the newspaper.
“When compulsory education covered 9 years and the retention and abandonment rates were high, these final tests aimed to value the knowledge to be certified. Given that there is currently no certification at the end of basic education, because students are required to continue their studies, the CNE is relevant, ”the CNE continues.
The same document also recommends to the government that global results of each school are not publisheddo not be public access.
That is, the CNE thinks they should disappear the usual rankings schoolsdisclosed every year by the media – which are based on the official results of the exams.
It is especially this recommendation that has already begun to originate criticism: “Evaluate students, hide the results. In the National Education Council, it takes revenge that it does not matter to have properly informed communities about what is happening in their schools, ”writes Andreia Sanches, deputy director of what he published an editorial on the subject.
José Manuel Fernandes sees in this opinion an intention of a setback in education. The commentator said on the radio that these postures are “Obsessions”: Remember that the 9th grade exams-“which are not a bizarre, force students to apply”-have already emerged in 1997; And not wanting to publicize the results by school is an “aggravating”.
The commentator until doubts that it is possible Hide these results, because the citizens’ access law to administrative documents does not allow to hide data. Augusto Santos Silva already wanted to do this (but failed) when he was Minister of Education: “Apparently the CNE wants to reopen this war“It warned José Manuel Fernandes.
