The educational system does not have the ability to conduct exams in full security conditions – Mehr news agency Iran and world’s news
An entrance exam mathematics teacher and educational activist in an interview with Mehr reporter stating that removing the assessment of general subjects from the national entrance exam means removing the country’s culture-building courses and their importance decreases; He said: In the United States of America, two subjects are always considered as the core of education, literature and mathematics. With the help of literature, it is possible to make a scientific understanding of the Internet, books, classes, professors and digital products, and apply logical thinking to them with the help of mathematics.
Salamian, in response to the proposed resolution to remove the assessment of general subjects from the national entrance examination and to apply the effect of 60% of the GPA and 40% of the entrance exam in the admission of candidates, said: After the change of the head of the assessment organization at the end of the 12th government, the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution contrary to the common duties He approved the change of assessment and education system; Based on this (changing the assessment and education system) in the national entrance examination, general courses should be removed and the effect of the GPA should be 60% and the effect of the entrance exam should be 40%. does not have.
Low income has prevented elites from being recruited into the education system
In the other part of his speech, he noted: As a teacher who was born as a teacher, who has done the professional work of education in the field of mathematics for more than a quarter of a century and outside the official education system, I believe that not using the elites in the education system is one of the weaknesses of the system. education of the country and the elite, interested, talented and ready to serve the education system of the country are not willing to serve in the main body of education due to the small incomes, this is in the situation that there is a system of rewards and high payments in the successful education systems of the world. As someone who has taught many students for a long time, I am aware of the real weaknesses of Iran’s education system.
Education does not have the ability to hold exams under complete security conditions
This educational activist stated that based on this decree, the measurement and evaluation of students’ learning in general subjects will be left to the schools, and he further clarified: The criticism of this issue is that the school tests, even the final exams, are never held with complete security. has not been During the exams, students prepare textbooks from special publications and take sample questions and work on them on the night of the exam. However, in recent years, the questions have been revealed in Telegram groups and cyberspace before the exam. In rural areas and small towns where it is considered an honor to be admitted to the medical field, it is simply cheated and the answers to the questions are given to the students. These cases are proof of this claim.
Emphasizing once again that education does not have a suitable platform for holding the same final exams in full security, Salamian further stated: In this year’s national entrance exam, which is a national exam lasting several hours, according to the head of the assessment organization, 480 cheaters were caught, 12 networks The violation was detected in the 1401 exam and a number of candidates cheated with tools such as pens and erasers SIM card slot And the invisible headphones had taken pictures of the questions and sent them outside. Also a few Key switcher Also, in a Telegram channel with 1,200 members, they gave the keys to the applicants by charging 500 million Tomans.
He continued: According to what was published in the domestic media, from the very first day of the 1401 entrance exam, i.e., the competition of candidates for the art experimental group, questions were published on Telegram channels, and even the head of the assessment organization implicitly admitted that the controls were weaker on the day of the exam. He accepted and said that at 12:30, a photo of a notebook page was published.
This entrance exam mathematics teacher said: Also, based on the information published in the domestic media in the following days, especially on the test day of the experimental group of mathematical and technical sciences and experimental sciences, the publication of questions in Telegram groups became wider. The publication of the math group questions at 9 am and the experimental group questions at around 10 am were the more serious aspects of the 1401 entrance exam. did
Salamian pointed out: All these events happened in a situation where the measurement organization announced long before the 1401 entrance examination that the internet was cut off in the test areas and that knowledge-based companies provided a device to detect any electronic devices in the test areas.
He added: according to Sardar Kiyomarth Azizi, the police commander of eastern Tehran province, the sellers of entrance exam questions have been arrested, and according to the entrance exam held in 1401 and the surveillance of cyberspace by police experts fata Pakdasht province and city, a person who was selling national exam questions with fake documents on the social network was identified. With the investigations conducted by FATA police experts, it was found that this person was providing the card number to sell questions to the buyers, and during the inquiries, the owner of the card was identified and arrested.
In another part of his speech, this educational activist stated that the many side effects of this year’s entrance exam, including cheating, have even been used by foreign media, and he clarified that this national exam should not be held in a way that would be exploited by foreign media, but unfortunately, this year’s entrance exam This happened, and the volume of foreign media coverage of the news of fraud and implementation shortcomings of the national entrance exam is a large part of the project. disappointment It has made the youth to live in Iran.
Holding the exam electronically does not help to reduce cheating cases
Salamian, believing that holding the entrance exam electronically does not help to reduce fraud cases, stated: In today’s world when the most secure sites are easily hacked, how can the electronic entrance exam be held in complete security? And the country does not have a model for implementing this method of testing.
Criticizing the frequent interviews of Pour Abbas, the head of the Education Evaluation Organization, he considered its continuation as a factor for worrying the public mind and creating stress, and said: This is despite the fact that according to the policies of the system, one should not behave and act in such a way that the disappointing news is taken over by foreign media. This year’s exam was held in such a way that it even made the headlines of foreign media and caused embarrassment.
This entrance exam mathematics teacher further added: In countries that are role models for Iran, the SAT academic record test is bought and sold for $2,000. In this case, aristocrats in small towns enter the university, which is contrary to the establishment of social justice.
Weaknesses of the approval to change the assessment and education system lead to its cancellation
Believing that this resolution (changing the assessment and education system) does not have a suitable basis for its implementation and even after the president announces its weaknesses, it will lead to its cancellation, he further clarified: if the assessment organization with 40 years of history could not conduct a several-hour test in complete security, how can we expect that education without the necessary and appropriate infrastructure can conduct a standardized test for general subjects across the country?
He said: For those who change their field from mathematics to experimental, they must take the GPA recovery test. This test is done 6 times a year and each final test lasts 20 days. The Ministry of Education means that they are involved in these tests for 120 days. To establish complete security for 120 days?
This entrance exam mathematics teacher again criticized the removal of the assessment of general subjects from the national entrance examination and added: For years, a surgeon studies and after obtaining a degree, if he is not fluent in English, statistics and research methods, how can he comment in international forums and be brought up? If, according to the Supreme Leader of the Revolution and the vision document, Iran is supposed to be a role model in the region, how will this happen without mastering foreign languages? Experience has proven that if the measurement and evaluation of lesson learning is removed from the national entrance exam, the student is not even willing to participate in that class, such as history. Or the geology course, which has a coefficient of 1 only for the field of pharmacy in the national entrance exam. Of course, friends in education can pay attention to courses such as life skills, which they do not attach importance to this course due to the absence of questions in the national entrance exam of students during the academic year.
Salamian pointed out: I believe that by removing general subjects such as literature, Arabic, English language, etc., culture-building subjects will be removed, and as a math teacher, I am against removing these subjects because general subjects help the student in understanding, comprehension and correct perception.
I have to say Based on The decision of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution in the exam of 1402 and 1403 will only have a definitive effect on the 12th year academic records, and in the 1404 exam, the 11th year will also be added, and in the 1405 exam, the 10th year academic records will be added.
Also, with the new decree, the definitive effect of educational records In the year 1402 will be only 40% and in 1403 it will reach 50% definite effect and in 1405 it will reach 60% definite effect.
