The prom exam is required to be held online and the quality criterion removed

The controversy created that keeping the senior exam could lead to the failure of the exam process, has rejected former chairman of the Matura Commission, once deputy director at the Centre for Advancing the Education Backup, Nehat Mustafa.

Mustafa in an interview for Online Economics said the prom test should be held, but according to him MAST should make the necessary changes for 2020, which are in the interest of seniors.

He has demanded that the reorganization of the Proving take place, removing the calysity criterion to replace it with reachability.

In addition, he said that the number of questions -- from 200 to 120 -- should be reduced, as well as enabled according to Mustaf for the exam to be held just one day, extending the August deadline.

The prom test should be held because such circumstances have now been created that it is not a problem of organization either through online form but perhaps through physical shape, because we are now witnessing what the ease of measures in terms of restrictions given by the Health Ministry”, Mustafa said.

According to him, the Ministry of Education must make the decision to abolish the transparency criterion and to shift to the achievement criteria.

We can have changes in the number of questions, in the test days, and we can have changes to the quality criterion. The number of questions and the number of test-organization days is easier and more desirable, which can be done for one day by rejecting the August deadline, it would also be possible for students who have remained last year on the prom exam. To ease the status of seniors, the Ministry of Education must make the decision to remove the quality criteria and to pass to the achievement criteria of”, Mustafa has said.

Mustafa stressed that exams bring stress to seniors who submit to the exam, and according to him this plays a direct role in registering higher education.

He asked KSHM and MASTI to alleviate the stress that all students and students are going through in this world pandemic period.

“Studies have shown that tests and exams in general present stress, but in particular stress is the senior test for seniors. In view of the situation we've been through, our institutions should think very seriously so that they can take such measures that will ease the stress of seniors in regard to the state prom test”

The number of requests (questions) could be reduced from 200 to 120 (from 30 per subject) and this would automatically reduce the number of days from two to one (being that there are 120 questions that could be 4 hours 5040 minutes). This can also be done easily, because in the law there is no specific indication of how many requirements must be made for one subject and the number of days”, Mustafa added.

Among other things, he asked the Ministry of Education to take into account those changes, respectively.

As he said, this necessary change would be supported by seniors, parents, and schools in this time of no time.
