New Security Measures Against Examinations "Spills"

LNT's morning news program "900 Seconds" was announced on Monday, in preparation for the national tests of students this year, of which the first foreign language for 12 classes is expected within a week already, new security measures have been put in place against the possibility of "bleeding" examinations.

"This year we have strongly strengthened security in several respects. Those works downloaded at a specific time before the start of the exam have reduced this download time, "said Guntars Catlaks, Head of the State Education Content Center. The time limit is also set for topic topics. Those teachers will open during the exam just before the beginning of the relevant part of the test. In addition, in order to facilitate the identification of the perpetrator in the event of a spill, identification marks will be assigned to copies of each school exam. "I will not say exactly what, but we will be able to identify the work of the school in question," warns Catlaks.

Meanwhile, schools themselves point out that leaks can occur not only from the school and its administration, but also from other involved stages. "The exam takes a fairly long path from the moment it is drawn up to the time it is at school. Therefore, it is definitely worth assessing each stage involved, "says Gundega Muceniece, Director of the Riga State German Gymnasium.

Both in schools and in the ministry admit that preparation for exams is also an issue of attitude. If it is perceived as a learning process, then there should not be any problems. It is also recognized by the 12th grade students. "It's not right that the answers are breaking out, and some have an advantage over others," says Rūdolfs. The same goes for Beata: "It would be beneficial to students, but the same tasks are being replaced and no response is given. I do not think that would give me some sort of opportunity. Of course, all students would like to do this, but in my opinion it is important to show their true knowledge in the exam. "

The National Center for Education Content points out that one of the solutions to the "clearing" of the exam can be digitization and online dating, but it could only be implemented after several years. In this school year, the first exam will take place on March 13.
