During the simulation of the national evaluation exam, about 36% of the students failed to obtain a note of transition to Romanian language and literature. How to explain the disaster? “There are several factors that contributed”explained for “Adevărul” Marian Stas, an expert in education.
The notes in Romanian at the simulation of the national assessment 2025 were disastrous. Archive
At the Romanian language and literature test within the simulation of the National Assessment exam 2025, a little over 160,000 students were presented. Specifically, we are talking about 161,883 evaluated works. Of these, 103,629 works received grades higher or equal to 5. instead, note 10 was obtained by only 92 children. Most of the students took notes between 4 and 4.99. We are talking about 14.9%.
What does the children confused? First of all, they stumbled into the poetic message that he should have detached from the “awakening” poetry, by Lucian Blaga. Then, many students did not know how to write the noun “children” or the verb “you”. And the correct form of the word “well -being” has put it in great difficulty.
Teacher: “Expression is catastrophic”
A cruel truth, which hurts, has been reported by teachers over the years, but without something to be resolved in the meantime: students do not know how to speak or write Romanian correctly. “It seems incredible to me that you cannot give some answers to such exercises, unless you did not go to school at all, if you have not read more than two rows in life, if no one has put you to say what you read and understand”, He commented on the notes Serinella Zara, a Romanian language and literature teacher at the “Mihai Eminescu” National College in Iași.
“Expression is catastrophic. At all, so it is not just about the essay of literature. They do not know what an article is, I do not know what is a designation, I do not understand what the flexion of the cases is. Let us not forget that they are a generation that refuses to learn theory,” Adina Papazi, a Romanian language teacher at the IL Caragiale National College in Bucharest, also pointed out.
“Heavy topics. Blaga is not accessible to anyone”
It is true, the topics were not easy. Immediately after finding them, Ruxandra Achim, a Romanian language and literature teacher within the “Ilcaragia” National College in Bucharest, confessed to us that the students will not take very high grades this year. On the contrary. “It is true, the topics respect the model and the structure, but they are, however, a bit difficult. The poetic text will ask the children in difficulty, including on the choice of the correct variants to the questions with objective items. It didn’t seem easy at all. Students, for a high note, have to prove that they master certain shades very well ”the teacher said.
Moreover, the teacher commented on the fact that Lucian Blaga’s poetry is not even accessible for older students. “It is deeply metaphorical, and children must exercise their understanding capacity. ”

Expert in education: “He did not care, they did not learn”
The disastrous results recorded by children in Romanian language and literature are the consequence of three important factors, which are related to the education system itself, but also a certain mentality that students generally have, commented Marian Staș, an expert in education. “It is the cruel mirror of reality in the Romanian schools. And, here, sometimes, this moment of the deep and painful truth appears, when the evil can no longer be hidden. And I shocked the weak result obtained by children in Romanian. But that means only one thing: a school done badly”, Explained the specialist.
Another aspect that contributes decisively, unfortunately, and year by year to the weak results recorded by children represents “The huge discrepancy between the way in which school is done in the city and the way school is done in villages, in the rural area ”.
Equally relevant is the fact that students simply did not care about this simulation of the national assessment. “Knowing it is just a rehearsal of exam From the summer, knowing that the notes do not go into the catalog, do not matter and do not influence the environments, the students did not give great importance to the training. They did not learn ”, Points Marian Stas.
