The Ministry of National Education (MoNE) has made an important decision regarding the central examination to be held under LGS. The Improvement of Measurement and Evaluation Processes, chaired by Deputy Minister of National Education Mahmut Özer, the Scientific Committee evaluated the whole process and made recommendations.
In line with these recommendations, MoNE decided to ask questions in the curriculum until the end of the first semester of the 2019-2020 academic year, in the central examination to be held within the scope of LGS.
“LGS EXAM CALENDAR HAS BEEN EVALUATED THAT IT CAN GO TO LONG DELAYS”
Minister of National Education Ziya Selçuk reminded that the holiday period of the schools was extended until April 30 with the new decision.
Emphasizing that they support students with distance education in this process, Selçuk said that they want to minimize the level of anxiety related to this exam for 8th grade students who will take the central exam under LGS this year.
Selçuk stated that there is a scientific board with academicians who are experienced in their fields, who also provide consultancy to improve the measurement and evaluation processes, and that there are also general managers, and pointed out that the board, chaired by Deputy Minister Mahmut Özer, is evaluating the whole process.
Minister Selçuk said: “I have previously announced that LGS will not ask questions about subjects that are not face-to-face education. In the second term, you will have the opportunity to face-to-face education for about a month. However, in February, our students in that region could not go to schools in Elazığ and Malatya earthquakes. It was evaluated that the time required to compensate for the semester courses may lead to long delays in the LGS exam calendar. “
“THERE IS NO SITUATION REQUIRING US TO DELAY LGS”
Pointing out that students ‘anxiety is likely to increase even more in case of a delay in the LGS exam calendar, Selçuk said: “We do not want to increase the anxiety of our students who have had hard times due to the epidemic and we want to give enough time to prepare for the exam. In the light of current data, June 7, 2020’ However, we will follow the recommendations of the Ministry of Health Scientific Committee depending on the course of the coronavirus epidemic, however, if necessary, we will evaluate the situation again in the coming weeks. However, there is no change in the agenda for the exam at the moment. Let them follow the distance education lessons on the one hand with peace of mind and repeat the subjects they have seen so far. The central examination within the scope of LGS will be held only from the first semester curriculum. “
