Minister
of Education and Science of Georgia Dimitri Shashkini held the working meeting
with the experts of subject groups of National Examination Center. The aim of
the meeting was to discuss the current issues concerning the Unified National
Exams.
By
the statement of the Minister, National Examination Center is ready to carry
out the National Unified Exams smoothly.
Tests
for the National Unified Exams have been printed out in England. They will be
brought to Georgia soon and will be placed in special depositories.
National
Unified Exams will start on June 28 and will last till July 19. Entrants will
have to take exams in 4 compulsory subjects: Georgian Language and Literature,
Foreign Language (English, France, Germany or Russia), General Skills and one
elective subject.
This
year, second enrollment procedure has been abolished and entrants have a chance
to choose 20 desired faculties instead of 7, as it was last year. The final
results of the Exams will be announced by the end of August. Therefore,
examination process will be less stressful for entrants and their parents.
Higher
Education Institutions has already defined profile subject as the subject for
the 4th - elective exam. Minimal competency barrier has increased
with 10% for medical and law faculties. Accordingly, entrants of these
faculties will have to cross 35% barrier in 3 compulsory subjects and 30%
barrier in profile subject.
This
year, for the first time, entrants have passed registration online on the
web-pages www.naec.ge and www.online.naec.ge. This was very comfortable
procedure for the entrants as they were able to change their decision and
moderate the list of faculties by the end of the registration process.
