Exams and tests: flaws were detected in 45% of inspected schools
n 2023, the General Inspectorate of Education and Science (IGEC) entered 55 public and private schools at the time of national exams and final exams and in 45% it detected irregularities in the carrying out of these assessments. The overwhelming majority of failures identified by inspectors relate, above all, to the performance of invigilator teachers (and, in part, of exam secretariats), which, for IGEC, causes concern. The experts interviewed by PÚBLICO maintain that, despite Although these errors deserve attention and correction, they are mainly due to " the complexity of the procedures" and not to "general negligence".
