The new school calendar brings important changes in education and the most important change is at the level of the Baccalaureate exam. The oral tests would be held between January 27 and February 7.
The written tests still remain in the summer, only a month earlier than before, between June 10 and 16, due to the increasingly high temperatures.
The autumn session of the Baccalaureate will start on August 4 with the evaluations, the written tests will take place on August 11, and the final results will be displayed on August 26.
“It’s really good that it happens earlier because there’s not a lot of material you have to learn for the skills and you get rid of the stress they can bring.” The fact that it is earlier helps students who want to give more complicated admissions, especially abroad where they are in July and then there is more time for preparation. What I appreciate most about this calendar is the fact that there is a one-day break between rehearsals”, said Rafaela Barac, vice-president of the National Council of Students, according to stirileprotv.ro.
However, students who are admitted to these tests do not automatically enter the summer session of the baccalaureate. For this, they must finish the school year with averages above 5.
At the same time, the national assessment for 8th grade students was scheduled between June 23 and 27. For the first time, in both exam sessions, Baccalaureate and National Assessment, students will be able to see their work after initial results are posted, before appeals are lodged.
