Details of compensatory training for secondary school / from free classes to the possibility of grade restoration

Mohammad Mehdi Kazemi, the deputy of secondary education of the Ministry of Education, in an interview with the education reporter of Fars news agency about the summer remedial education program, stated: The remedial education program started on July 10th and will continue until the end of August, and after that, the students will be evaluated. That means exams will be held.

Stating that two groups of students can participate in this course in the regulations, he added: The first group is the students who did not pass the quorum in courses and are so called that they have to take the exam in September.

Kazemi added: The second group is the students who passed the quorum, but the school council has recognized that it is still necessary to have a training course in order to consolidate learning.

He clarified: In order to create an incentive for the second group to participate in these courses, we obtained a resolution from the Supreme Council of Education, according to which, if the students of the second group participate in the exams in September and their score is higher than the score in June, which was a passing grade. So, the higher score will replace the previous score.

* Compensatory training is for 7th to 11th grade students

The deputy of secondary education of the Ministry of Education stated that the remedial training is for students of the 7th to 11th grade and clarified: This training course is free in public schools.

In response to the question, “Is participation in these courses mandatory for the first and second groups?” He added: The first group is students who did not get a passing grade in one or more courses, so it is necessary to participate in these courses. For the second group, it is an opportunity that they can use this created opportunity.

Stating that the training is in 4 lessons, Kazemi said: The selection of lessons is at the discretion of the General Department of Education of the province, which is done by the school and the district and is appropriate to the fields. Of course, the biggest drop was related to science and math courses.
