The external assessment test will be held tomorrow (Tuesday) for all fourth-grade Hebrew-speaking students in state and state-religious education.
Assessment tests in Arabic and Hebrew in Haredi education were held a few days ago.
The Ministry of Education hopes that the data obtained will provide a standard picture of the level of knowledge and skills of fourth graders, as well as their attitudes regarding learning.
As with any major test, the system goes into absorption standby and the Ministry of Education fears that teachers and principals will try to skew results to present a perfect picture of the school.
Therefore, a letter sent to principals in recent days states that "resources should be diverted to the mother tongue profession at the expense of other professions. Students should work during the assessment independently and without any cooperation between them."
It is also written regarding the purity of the exams: "The teacher present in the class is not allowed to move around among the students and answer students' questions, clarify matters concerning the content of the questions, check or correct answers given by them or assist them in any way. Where a violation of the purity of the exams is discovered, they will be treated severely. "
