Until so many thousands of euros, they will be fined for helping “students cheat on the state senior test.

The new draft law on the state-run senior exam aims to fight the practice of copying by imposing strict measures on persons and institutions that violate the rules. There, fines of up to 20 thousand euros are spent in the event of misuse. While the Ministry of Education considers it necessary, representatives of the opposition and educational organisations estimate that these measures are not sufficient.

Copying to the prom test has become almost “trads” in Kosovo.

But this time, game rules can be costly.

The draft law on the state prom exam, which is expected to take the green light even in the Parliament, envisions severe punitive measures, in Article 24 where measures for counter-invention are envisioned.

Any unauthorized approach to classified documents as classified as classified, according to this article, could be punished by as much as 2,000 euros for physical persons, and for those legal penalties amounting to 15 thousand euros.

The responsibility is even heavier for officials who allow systematic copying or misuse during the exam.

For them, fines of up to 2,000 euros per individual are laid, up to 20 thousand euros for institutions.

Such a mechanism with punitive measures is considered to have a positive impact, according to Education Minister Hajrula Ceku.

Because of a bad experience in the past years and one of the elements the group has proposed is increasing sanctions... One of the important aspects of how we can make sure of the integrity of the senior exam”, Hajrula Ceku, the minister of education, said.

While LDK Education Commission member Jehona Lushaku-Sadriou criticises the fact that the bill does not absolutely prohibit access to the internet.

I proposed that a specific point be added where access to all rooms, classrooms which hold the senior test, were not allowed because it was unfortunately not voted. We haven't done anything if in the same conditions the prom test is held, yet the tests continue to circulate”, said Jehona Lushak-Sadriu, a member of the Commission for Education.

Organisation Director “ETEA”, which constantly monitors the process of keeping the senior test, considers that the harshest sanction is not enough to stop copying.

“I personally consider that no, because it was necessary to be touched at other points, a teacher who tolerates cheating does not deserve to be a teacher, so in this article I would have to include the removal of the teaching license, or even the degradation of responsible persons such as school principals”, said Agon Ahmeti, the organisation for education “ETEA”

On April 20th, the Parliamentary Commission for Education, Science and Technology adopted the State Math Test Bill, despite opposition demands for additional changes. / Tv Dukagini/
