A day before the Kosovo primary school achievement test, education connoisseur from the “Institute Edgard”, Renor Qehaja, presented serious concerns about managing the Environment Test, compared to failures in the Matura Test.
The Centre for Online Economics, said the Environment Test is of abuse, copying and manipulation that make the assessment invalid and unreliable.
“The essence of achievement in our assessment is not much different from the failure in management by the Matura Test. Rather, we appreciate that it has escalated as evil in the form of abuses, cheating, and manipulations that are carried by students, which are carried as a result that good or poor students in each case present results, which are not valid and reliable. What we already need, since the character of the test is orientation, is that we see it necessary not to have the same weight on high school registrations, but to remain in that pure goal of guiding students who are in those profiles, who belong most to them as a skill and serve as a good guide for a good career selection<1>, he said.
Qehaja proposes that the test has no weight in enrollment in high schools but that it is used only as a career navigation guide.
“The test structure and questions, however updated, basically remain the same, as form, organisation, structure, and as such, we do not expect any change from the previous years. We'll have the same results, at a relatively similar level of calysity, which is subject to how rigorous the manager was during the test. Generally, what's determinative to students is the number of points: the higher the probability of enrolling in schools they want.
For these reasons it takes more importance and a physical management of this testing, as at some point a mismanaged test can easily turn into good performance in testing”, said Qehaja, broadcast Clankosova.tv.
It requires the Ministry of Education and Observers to ensure just management and restore confidence in the process, avoiding damage to meritocracy and fair competition. /Periscopi
