All of theses in the Romanian language from national assessment will be revised, announced Wednesday evening, the interim Minister of education Liviu Pop.

It will also be changed the correction scale , so that students will receive a maximum score, no matter what variant opted: "subjective" or "predicative".

National assessment of secondary school graduates ended on Wednesday with the maths round.

But that depends on the exam for admission to high school students passed beyond the exam rooms.

One of the places where he talked about the national assessment in 2012 was the seat of Government itself.

At its meeting of Wednesday, Premier Victor Ponta asked the interim Minister of Education Liviu Pop, to make a proposal on the correction scale of the national tests, after the controversy over the "ambiguity" of a grammar topic at the Romanian language.

Liviu Pop had given assurances that no student will not suffer at the distribution in high schools due to the correction scale of the Romanian.

The Government representative stated that the "ambiguity" of the subject at Romanian language and literature is a legacy of the former Minister of Education, Daniel Funeriu, on whose mandate was drawn up and sealed tests topics.

Liviu Pop has announced that there are levers in order to resolve the situation, the solutions have been discussed in the Government and will be made public on Friday, when it is ended up the period for complaints submission.

Moreover, the Minister recommends that students who have responded differently than the correction scale to submit complaints.

"Certainly more than 40-50% of children in Romania have responded correctly to the C variant, because the school is taught with Variant C.

"We do an analysis and how many have responded publicly, how many responded to B, how many have responded c.e. less important now.

"The parent and the child are not interested if he has the mark 9,30 or 9,70 or 9,20. He Is interested in being assigned in the high school that he wants.

"From this point of view I think it's very important for parents and students to understand that their distribution is not affected by the topic-", Liviu Pop had said.

Also, Liviu Pop also appreciated that the notified problems is yet another sign that the law should be amended.

In addition, the interim Minister stated that he would propose the deletion of those national tests and replacing them with admission to the high school.

Parents and students Protest in front of the Ministry of education

The subject of the Romanian language at the national evaluation of the protest reached in front of the Ministry of Education, according to the Radio România reporter, Cristina Iliescu.

Two days students and parents waited for clarification from Ministry representatives , and it was launched an on line petition on the amendment to the correction scale at which have signed it so far more than 30 thousands of parents, teachers and students.

The stakes are high, because a low exam mark decreases the student’s chance of entering a high school considered good.

The high school distribution is made by adding the average of the four years of secondary school and the average of the national assessment , which then divided by two.

Students and parents request approved for revising the correction scale of the second subject in which students are asked to tell among others, the type of the subordinate sentence, conferring, predicative , subjective or attributive.

Parents have requested restoration of the scale so that both the variant C, subjective sentence, and variant B, predicative sentence, to be judged as correct.

The topic has generated controversy and even interpretations among educators, being appreciated by parents and pupils as one of great difficulty and not average, as provided for in the order of the Ministry of education developed in this respect.

In this context, several parents gathered in front of the Ministry of Education, unhappy with this requirement.

They have said on this occasion that matter most to them the score they obtain, having regard to the computerized distribution in high schools.

The interim Minister of Education Liviu Pop, had stated at the end of talks with parents that each student, after a special appeal filed, will receive a score of 0.60 points, so that any student would not be affected by this.

"We make a kind of uniform opposition to be at the level of the educational units so that, as a result of the correction calculated in such a way that students are not affected by this in computerized distribution.

"For distribution they will receive an additional score of 0.60 points, but this will not affect either the allocation of any students who responded correctly," said Liviu Pop.
