"One of the results of our meeting is that the measure that allows students of health and social sciences to recognize the performance of compulsory didactic tests according to the average grade from selected certificates, the Ministry of Education will expand to include students of the same health and social sciences who study other forms of education - long-distance, evening or combined, "said the Prime Minister.
