The Ministry of Education and Science (IZM) will forward to the government for approval amendments to the Cabinet of Ministers’ regulations so that 12th grade students this school year do not necessarily have to complete monitoring tasks in physics, chemistry or biology at the optimal learning level, as well as natural sciences at the general learning level, the ministry informed LETA agency.

This school year, for the first time in the secondary school, monitoring works will be carried out in STEM subjects. They were introduced to create the content of the exam that high school graduates will take as a mandatory centralized exam from the 2025/2026 academic year.
This school year is a transitional stage in the implementation of monitoring work, therefore participation in monitoring work is not mandatory for 12th grade students this year.
11th grade students can also not perform the monitoring work if they plan to take a higher level exam in biology, chemistry or physics in 12th grade.

The statement of the Ministry of Education and Culture followed after the senior students of several schools expressed their criticism that the state has so far, although it has promised, not adopted the regulation for canceling the monitoring works, meanwhile the examination session is fast approaching.
Students who will take the monitoring work will not be subject to the requirement of a minimum total score of 15% of the state test. The result of the monitoring work will also not affect the result of the students’ learning achievement.
The Ministry of the Interior predicts that the necessary amendments will be adopted by April 24.
