Evaluarea Națională. Elevi cu note de 2 și 3 la examen au avut medii generale de 7 și 8 la clasă • Newsweek România

The National Assessment results reveal a significant discrepancy between students' classroom averages and their exam scores, with many achieving low marks despite high averages. This trend is consistent across all counties in Romania, where final exam scores are often 4-5 points lower than classroom averages. The assessment, which includes Romanian and mathematics exams, determines high school placements, and even students with scores below 5 are admitted. The Ministry of Education reported that 21% of eighth graders failed to achieve a passing score, although the percentage of students with scores of 5 or higher increased slightly after re-evaluations.
