The federations have declared a three-hour work stoppage on the same day that the exams for the first 3 hours of the morning program are held, calling on their members not to participate in the procedures of the Greek PISA program, in order to cancel the exams.
The federations state, among other things, that “this program has been severely criticized worldwide” because “its use as a research tool leads to extreme competition among the educational community, leads to the categorization and ranking of schools, students and students. of teachers, while orienting the teaching to pre-planned lessons and reinforces sterile memorization at the expense of critical and creative learning “.
The ministry, for its part, clarifies that the results of the exams will be collected anonymously and will not be counted in the students’ grades. Topics include “basic knowledge that students must have acquired in elementary and high school”, “students do not need any preparation to take the exams, they are not graded” and that “diagnostic tests have nothing to do with the assessment of teachers or the educational project “.
