Removing notes: Ngerman Jasharaj says he would remove the stress of children

The warning to remove differential swimming for students of 1 to 5 has sparked dilemmas about what impact it can have on students.

Those who appreciate it as a positive step and who would take the students ' stress off their grades have the dilemmas of how this would then be managed in the 6th grade, when students would also face swimming and painful learning.

And those opposed to leaving their grades say that this would affect reducing the students ' motivation for learning.

Currently in our country, students of 1st and 2 are not valued with differential swimming, but are valued with standardized constructive comments about the results of the busy.

From the Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, they have not answered whether they have a concrete plan about leaving differential swimming for primary school students and when that is expected to take place.

On the other hand, Kosovo Parents' Council Chairman Ymret Resiti, in a written response to Kosova Prees, says that from MASTI, it requires that no decisions be made without a thorough analysis so that students will not be harmed by experimental decisions and strategies.

Such reform, according to him, should be done with a concrete strategy that should be implemented in certain stages of time rather than be there.

We as the Kosovo Parents' Council require that important decisions not be made without deep analysis so that we do not harm education, respectively, by decision and strategy E. For 20 years our children have been an experiment in education, which unfortunately showed time. Also, AugustI's decisions on these issues should be made in close co-operation with the Council of Parents of Kosovo because it is being decided on the educational future of our children”, it says in response.

Resiti points out that no action affecting students will succeed if the Council of Parents of Kosovo is ignored, which he also invites MASTATI to make without consulting them.

And such an idea to avoid differential swimming is supported by the United Trade Union of Education, Science and Culture, but they have their own dilemmas about what effect it would have on students when they were about to come to 6th and face swimming and painful learning.

The chairman of this union, Nundman Jasharaj, says the removal of the swim would relieve students ' stress of low-cycle for grades.

 And maybe this idea has to be proved and there are two moments, a moment that the stress of children for grades would be lifted, parents' pressure would be lifted because we have information that parents are saying that they insist on high grades for their children and that it would probably become more relaxed by 1-5. But the thing that scares us is that in the 6th grade, then children will be faced with grades, face a complete change of educational system for switching to painful learning, and they may have learned without grades, and do not know how they will react, how they will be engaged when their swimming begins. So, we need to study this issue, maybe it'll be proven in September, we don't object to this”, he says.

On the other hand, education-field connoisseurs are divided about the impact that would have the removal of differential notation for primary school students.

The executive director of the Edgood Institute, Youth Qehaja, says that removing the differential notation is a profound reform of the educational system, but that such a thing claims could affect reducing students' commitment to learning.

 The removal of the differential assessment as the concept comes from Western countries to a very advanced system and a higher education culture, now that it is applicable to us this is something to debate. Yet, our fear is that the eventual departure of the assessment will eliminate the commitment that students of these age groups have had. I remember it's just the initial cycle that stands out a lot more than the cycle of low and high high high high high high high high high school devotions and better grades. We are aware that the internal assessment at all levels without exception is not real, but the elimination of the same for these age groups, and we fear that otherwise there would be anti-effective”, he says.

In contrast, the connoisseur of the silver Osmani education issues, which says that the departure of differential notation is a shooting step, but says such a decision should be forwarded with massive investments in school infrastructure and the professional development of teachers.

 I think this step is shot, but it should be given that it should be forwarded with massive investments in the school infrastructure, in professional development of teachers, and with the creation of a loving environment for children where they will develop their talents and skills in a word... The assessment can be motivation, but it can also be demotivatement for students depending on what they think. I don't think that's very much related to the conditions they're mentioned infrastructural and other education escorts, but that the Government definitely doesn't have to act out as a single measure, it should be forwarded to other additional measures if they really intend to freeze the quality of education”, he says.

The distance from traditional evaluation will have a positive impact on students, says Arian Musliu, psychologist from the Center for Psychic and Medical Research.

This, he says, removes the competition that is postponed by parents so that their children can have all grades five, until it points out that getting grades will have no effect on reducing students ' teaching motivation.

 And this competition to reach all 5 doesn't really affect the inner motivation of students. I think that grades in this direction will not diminish students' interest in achievement, but students' interest will grow in this form. So not because of the elimination of competition, but because they won't have something that they'll constantly face, so the note. On the other hand, we always take positive notes, so 5, 4, we are eliminating the negative impact that negative grades have that is much greater than their positive impact, that is, notes 1, 2 or 3 in certain cases”, he says.

Musliu says that the teachers would then have to prepare students who go from grade 5 to 6 with the idea that they'll already be assessed in marks.

The issue of swimming for 1st and 2 classes has been adjusted to administrative guidelines in 2016, where at Article 3 points 3.7.2 says pre-mortal students and 1-2 classes are not valued by numeric notes but are assessed with standardised constructive comments towards results of learning.
