Headmistress Andreia Bodea says students are scoring high grades in admissions, but in chemistry, physics, biology and French, performance is below expectations

Andreia Bodea, headmistress of I. L. Caragiale in Bucharest, points out that although students enter high school with high averages in subjects such as chemistry, physics, biology and French, the results are significantly poorer. She cites a reluctance to extra exams and tutoring, suggesting multidisciplinary assessment. Education minister Daniel David is proposing a standardized national assessment, similar to the French model, including tests in several subjects to reflect graduates' key competences.
