Dumbing-down in Polish schools and the Matura [185]
What is important is the standardization.For example in greek national exams 50% of students write below base that is less than 50% correct answers they fail even to catch base.All these get certification that they finished secondary education and are eligible for admission to university in other countries(there are 40000 greek students only in UK).
On the other hand the students who compete for competitive schools(like medicine,engineering etc) have to get over 90% of correct answers to have chances to succeed.So you have a situation where the 50% of examinees completely fails while another 10% gets top grades and competes for admission in very tough competition when a simple mistake on exams can determine everything.
Why does this happen?Simply the tests in Greece are not standardized.(that is why 50% fail).So the middle class has a ready argument for the failure of its offsprings.
1.The educational system has failed when 50% fail to get base in national exams
2.The competition at top is ridiculous.In other countries(Italy etc) admission to the same schools is a lot easier and there are no competitive exams
3.Not only the top of the top have the intellectual capacity to study.In fact almost everyone can study
We see from the above how much power gives the middle class the lack of standardization and how they later use these justifications to jump and annul the system(for example paying proffessors to transfer their offspring from abroad to domestic university,pressing for recognistion of diplomas for which they bribed in eastern Europe,we talk about dozens of thousands of cases).
In fact I do not recognize any attempt to bring social criteria into education.Everyone who wants to apply affirmative actions,social bonuses,press for admissions despite low grades,promote their offsprings despite low capabilities can suck a big pen1s.They can put a dildo in their assses this is their normal position.Beat the sh1tters where you find them.
