TIRANA, Jan 30 /ATA/ As part of the 2023 State Matura there will be for the first time tailor- made tests for high school students with special needs.
This is what the Minister of Education and Sports, Evis Kushi, stated on Monday at the presentation of the results and analysis of the 2022 State Matura.
In her remarks, Kushi emphasized that “it was the concern of parents and students that graduates with special needs sit the same test as other graduates. 90% of students with special needs learn in streamline schools, only 10% of students assessed as having a higher degree of difficulty learn in special schools or in the Institute of Students with the hearing and visual impairment.”
“This year we have asked the Educational Services Center and very soon it will design tailored tests that have a lesser degree of difficulty for graduates assessed as having disabilities by a special commission,” said Kushi.
Speaking about the evaluation of the tests, Kushi said that if the high school leaver receives the evaluation of the test in e-Albania and finds that there is a problem, he will go to the school, where a committee set up by the school principal and two teachers of the syllabus will evaluate the test and the question that is subject of dispute and if they find problems, the test will be sent to the Center of Educational Services as part of the complaint from the school, signed and stamped by the school with a bar code, the test will also be re-evaluated.”
Minister Kushi announced that another novelty will be the digitized exam for all graduates who wish to study General Medicine.
“There were 3,000 graduates applying for general medicine, the exam will take place within 10 days. It guarantees meritocracy and maximum transparency for this category of graduates, who are the best,”, said Kushi.
