Editor's Notes
- It lasts 8 years
- The high school will contain three types of courses The first type of courses is common for everybody on the basic level. Second type - are compensation courses for students who need lower level courses in order to equal their education level with others in certain subjects. Third type - advanced courses which depends on the profile of their class (mathematics-physics, biology-chemistry, humanities or foreign languages). Maturity exam will accomplish the high school just like it was before. The passing of maturity exam allow student to attempt to study at universities. It includes two stages: grades 1-3 (early school education), grades 4-8 where teaching is done by subject.
- Results are currently expressed as percentages. To pass the matura it is necessary to score at least 30% in each of the three compulsory exams. The results of the additional exams do not affect whether a student passes, but are usually a factor when applying for higher education places. Since the year 2015 the results are expressed not only as percentages, but are also accompanied by percentiles on the Matura certificate.[3] This aims to make comparisons between Matura scores from different years fairer.
