The Minister of Education, Sorin Costreie, declared, in the interview “In Fața Ta”, broadcast on Sunday at 14:00 on Digi24, that he would improve the 8th grade National Assessment exam and would also “bring into play a test that would become relevant”, that is, not only Mathematics and Romanian Language and Literature, but also one “of socio-humanities and one of exact sciences”.
“I don’t propose to make a revolution now that will upset the system, to change the framework plans, manuals. (..) In the sense in which I would like to improve it”, said Sorin Costreie about the national evaluation exam.
He specified that at this moment it is not an official decision, but a proposal that must be analyzed together with experts in the field.
“I would also bring into play a test that would become relevant, so that it is no longer only Mathematics and Romanian. So the universe and knowledge is not limited to Mathematics and Romanian. I would also bring a socio-humanities test and one of exact sciences”, said the Minister of Education.
According to the minister, the change cannot be made immediately, and the children entering the 5th grade should know how the 8th grade assessment will be, because otherwise it would be an upheaval for them.
