During the meeting, the Minister of Education first reviewed the current situation and the challenges faced in the evaluation of students in secondary education, and then Ms. Michaelidou presented the main aspects and provisions of the proposed new evaluation system. As stressed by the Minister, the basic philosophy of evaluation is its formative and pedagogical character. Under the new evaluation plan, emphasis is placed on multiple forms of concurrent assessment, increasing teaching time, continuous professional development of teachers and limiting the number of subjects tested in the first grade of secondary school, for the purpose of a smooth transition from primary to secondary school, while the final written examination in January is abolished in all grades. The school year will continue to be divided, for organizational and teaching purposes, into two quarters, while students will take a written final examination, which will be prepared centrally at the end of the second quarter.
In addition, as Mrs. Michailidou, the process of defining and organizing the syllabus, based on the actual useful teaching time, will begin, while the competent authority will regulate, with instructions from the competent authority, issues of competitions and other forms of concurrent assessment, always with a view to the proper distribution of the students' workload.
At the end of the presentation, there was a discussion and exchange of views among those present, while it was stressed that in the coming days the final positions of all parties involved should be submitted, so that the relevant Regulations can be forwarded for approval to the Council of Ministers and then to the House of Representatives.
