News such as the grade point average not being enough to pass the class and the fact that no one, including the teacher, is allowed to bring a phone into the classroom indicate that radical decisions have been made for high schools.
The regulation published in the Official Gazette in the past weeks has been on the agenda for a long time. repeating a grade clarified the issue. In this context, the ‘passing with a GPA of at least 50’ situation, which was valid until then, was diversified and it was shared that a GPA of 50 alone would not be enough to pass the class.
In this context, we have seen that if the student has at least 6 unsuccessful courses, he will repeat the grade. If this number was 3, it would be possible to be responsible. Minister of National Education Yusuf TekinIn the program he attended on Ülke TV, he announced that a new one had been added to these conditions.
The Turkish average will need to be at least 70.
Answering different questions in the Evening Edition program Minister Tekinexplained the new condition that must be met to pass the class as follows:
“In the current situation, if a student who achieved a 50 GPA achieved a high grade in a few courses and achieved 50, he/she would pass all other courses even if they were below 50. He was responsible for some of it, and he was above average for some of it. We limited this. Certain courses need to be above average. Next week In our basic education regulation that will be published, we have made it mandatory to get 70 in Turkish. Our students whose Turkish average is not 70 will not be able to pass.”
Apart from this, we saw news about many topics in high schools. One of them was not allowing phones into the classroom.
Apart from this, Minister Tekin also announced in the same program that open high school exams will be face to face as follows:
“We looked at the application regarding open high school. Currently, the number of students enrolled in open high schools has decreased significantly due to the legitimate reasons and reasons we have defined. There are approximately 10 thousand registered students. It shows that the measures we took have received a positive response from the public and that we are doing the right thing. This year, open high school exams will also be face-to-face..”
