UpdateGraduation students should also be given the opportunity this school year to take an extra resit and to spread the exams over several periods. That is what the VO Council and the LAKS think.
The educational umbrella organization argues that this group has been suffering from corona measures for two school years and that it is currently unclear what the rest of this school year will look like. “That is why the VO Council thinks it is important to adjust the exam rules, just like last school year.”
The thumb rule, which could be applied last school year, can be canceled, according to the VO Council. This rule gave students the opportunity to cross out a fail mark for a non-core subject. This leads too much to calculated behavior on the part of students, they believe.
The Landelijk Aktie Komitee Scholieren (LAKS) also wants the exam rules to be relaxed again, preferably including the thumb rule. “Students have built up a lot of arrears in corona times and it would be crooked to suddenly go back to normal business,” said chairman Iben Maas. ,,And as far as we’re concerned, the thumb control is good. As a result, students experience much less pressure and can focus on the core subjects, which are extremely important in the exam.”
A spokesperson for outgoing minister Slob (Primary and Secondary Education) says that the minister will make a decision before the Christmas holidays of the House of Representatives about any relaxation of the exam rules.
This morning wrote The Telegraph The Ministry of Education has already decided to give the exams the same shape as before the corona crisis. This is a draft version of a decision and changes are still possible. Tomorrow all parties in education will meet again, also about this.
