Pupil/Student Assessment

Assessment at the secondary level includes regular coursework, exams, and project work. Continuous assessment is mandatory, with students evaluated quarterly. Schools must provide retake opportunities for students who miss assessments due to valid reasons (Article 6, Law on General Education).

Progression of Pupils/Students

To progress to the next grade, students must achieve a minimum score of 5.0 in each subject. Those who fail to meet this requirement are allowed to take supplementary exams, such as the autumn retake exam (Article 6, Law on General Education).

Certification

Upon successful completion of secondary education, students receive a Certificate of Secondary Education, qualifying them for higher education or vocational education. A diploma issued as a result of completing a secondary vocational education program that integrates the learning outcomes of the secondary level of general education is equivalent to a document certifying complete general education (Law on Vocational Education (2018) (Article 16).
