Education Union Calls for Abolition of State Exams After Grades IV and X
Published
The Education trade union has called for the state external assessments (NVO) after grades IV and X to be abolished from 2026. According to the union, these exams do not benefit students, because they have no consequences for their grades or their future.
In its position, the union points out that students are taking exams that are not connected to their development and progress. In addition, in the union's view, preparation for the NVO places an additional burden on both children and teachers. According to them, this process takes time that could be used for teaching and for other activities at school.
The union believes that the exams create unnecessary stress for the youngest students and for teenagers. It stresses that the tension is often high, even though the results do not affect children's further education.
So far, it is not clear whether the Ministry of Education and Science will accept this proposal. The topic remains current, and parents, teachers and experts continue to discuss whether NVO in these grades are necessary in their current form.
