There will be many more practical tasks this year for the 10th-graders’ official final exams. The children in 4th grade will also take exams in a new format. The students in 7th grade will sit an entirely different final test. To make the educational system high-quality, what the children study should include self-development and skill learning and therefore, their tests should also be changed. Minister Tsokov decided this after the results of the Bulgarian students in the PISA came out. He also mentioned that schools should recognize their strengths and weaknesses to improve.
