The mystery of the average of 10 to the National Assessment. The shock lived by a student when he saw his work before the appeals

The number of students who concluded the National Assessment 2025 with average 10 in Bucharest increased from 29 to 33, after resolving the appeals. Three candidates appear with the grades before and after the appeals, instead another candidate raises question marks.

The number of environments of 10 increased to 33 in Bucharest, after photo appeals: MEC’s report

Displaying the final results from the National Assessment made thousands of students happy throughout the country. 6% of the initial notes were challenged, less than in the past years, the visualization of the works before the appeals, an additional stage that has been carried out for the first time this year, clarifying many candidates and causing them not to challenge the note.

Of the total of 19,101 appeals, for 11,648 works the note has increased. In ten cases the growth was large enough so that the candidates passed among those who concluded the National Assessment with the average 10.

Four of the ten new 10s are in Bucharest, but in only three cases the media increased as a result of the work. The situation, signaled by a reader of the publication “Adevărul”, raised questions rightly.

The student who appeared in the database with the media 10, without being reassessed, is from the National College “Ion Luca Caragiale” and appears in the situation of the notes in the EDU.ro platform at position 20. In the hierarchy published on Friday, July 11, 2025, the same candidate occupies position 11.

“He took 10 in Romanian and 7 and something in mathematics”

What actually happened could generate a real drama when distributing at high school if the student, because it is a girl, did not ask to view his work before appealing. Her position in the hierarchy allows her to choose absolutely any specialization, at any high school in Bucharest, instead with the initial note would have been several thousand places below.

“The student took 10 in Romanian and 7 and something in mathematics. He made an appeal (n. Red.-in fact there was no need to file an appeal), he visualized his work, it was not her work, the coincidence made a student of the same name, I do not know how, and probably it was a very good confusion. But it was not a mistake of correction, it was a mistake of passing the note.“, Explained the director of the National College” Ion Luca Caragiale “, prof. Andreia Bodea, for” Adevărul “.

How did the tangle occur

The secondary school graduates from the National College “Ion Luca Caragiale” took the examination of the national evaluation 2025 in the examination center organized at the “Titu Maiorescu” High School, neighboring school unit with the high school. Here he produced the mess, when scanning the works in the examination room that of the student from “Il Caragiale” being saved with the name of another candidate with similar name.

He is a candidate with the average 10, indeed. The candidate is from the National College “Ion Luca Caragiale”, the child’s work scanned with another name. It was a mistake that was fixed. I made address of the Ministry of Education, the ministry reassessed, repaired the mistake, and the little girl was noted with 10. We have approvals, everything, nobody made nothing without approval. It is clear, the parents have clarified, everyone was quiet. It was a human error that was directed. The child took what he deserves. The little girl had taken 10 in Mathematics and she had come to file a challenge, because she knew how much her work should be ”, declared for “Adevărul” a person from the Secretariat Department of the School who was the exam center.

A problematic situation was registered, during the exam, in an exam center in Olt county. A candidate found only when teaching the work that the additional sheet on which he had solved a topic cannot be scanned because it represents a sketch. The student had asked during the “a sheet” sample, without mentioning if he needed a shed or a competition sheet. It was given a sketch, which in the end the members of the commission could not scan. As the time allocated to the sample was over, the student no longer had the opportunity to copy the resolution on a competition sheet, so his note was lower.

The results of the national evaluation dictate the chances of the students for admission to the high school. If in the counties the beating is fierce on the places in the high schools very well quoted, two or three in the younger cities and something more in the big cities, in Bucharest a few hundreds means enormously in the hierarchy and can endanger access to the desired high school, the average 9.00 (there are 134 students with this average), for example, meaning 4.985-5.19 Place in high school over 17,000 candidates.
