The new Minister of Education and Science Kulyash Shamshidinova spoke about the grading system at schools.
“As for the issue of assessment of knowledge. We must approach from two positions. First: teacher’s assessment should give information to the student, what he needs to work on. Now we are teaching teachers to give feedback and what he needs to work on. We believe that the assessment system and the assessment itself should be clear to all participants in the educational process – children, parents and teachers, “the head of the Ministry of Education and Science commented at a press conference in the government.
The second position: according to the minister, the assessment should evaluate not only knowledge. The Minister noted that the main task in training is that the student should have the opportunity to correct the two. For several years, a coordinator for a new comprehensive assessment system was prepared for each specific schools.
He should always have the opportunity to improve his assessment. This is what this system is aimed at, which should relieve the load and, most importantly, the psychological pressure on the student.
