Does Your Child Have Equal Opportunity at the Gymi Examination?<\/h1><\/div>

It is beco\u00adming incre\u00adasing\u00adly clear that preli\u00admi\u00adna\u00adry gra\u00addes deter\u00admi\u00adne suc\u00adcess at the ent\u00adrance exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon for the long-term gym\u00adna\u00adsi\u00adum<\/a>. A top result on the exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon is no lon\u00adger suf\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adent if the preli\u00admi\u00adna\u00adry gra\u00addes are not excel\u00adlent. This rai\u00adses the ques\u00adti\u00adon of whe\u00adther all pri\u00adma\u00adry school stu\u00addents in the can\u00adton have the same chan\u00adce of pas\u00adsing the Cen\u00adtral Ent\u00adrance Exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon (ZAP<\/span>) in the Can\u00adton of Zurich. <\/p>\n

The very idea of the Cen\u00adtral Ent\u00adrance Exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon is that all child\u00adren should be trea\u00adted equal\u00adly. Howe\u00adver, this is under\u00admi\u00adned by the strong rele\u00advan\u00adce of preli\u00admi\u00adna\u00adry gra\u00addes. Pri\u00adma\u00adry school tea\u00adchers can\u00adnot pos\u00adsi\u00adbly gra\u00adde in exact\u00adly the same way, becau\u00adse school clas\u00adses are far too hete\u00adro\u00adge\u00adneous. Gra\u00adding ine\u00advi\u00adta\u00adb\u00adly reli\u00ades at least par\u00adti\u00adal\u00adly on a com\u00adpa\u00adri\u00adson with class\u00adma\u00adtes rather than on defi\u00adned cri\u00adte\u00adria, com\u00adpe\u00adten\u00adci\u00ades, or abili\u00adties, so that the gra\u00adding of one and the same per\u00adfor\u00admance will turn out bet\u00adter or worse depen\u00adding on how good or poor the other stu\u00addents are. Fur\u00adther\u00admo\u00adre, each tea\u00adcher sets dif\u00adfe\u00adrent requirements\u2014if a par\u00adti\u00adcu\u00adlar tea\u00adcher has high expec\u00adta\u00adti\u00adons of their stu\u00addents, they gra\u00adde more strict\u00adly, and the exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon can\u00addi\u00adda\u00adte must take the exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon with poorer preli\u00admi\u00adna\u00adry gra\u00addes than they would have recei\u00adved from ano\u00adther tea\u00adcher. The\u00adre is also the addi\u00adtio\u00adnal pro\u00adblem that in low-per\u00adforming school clas\u00adses, the exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon-rele\u00advant topics some\u00adti\u00admes can\u00adnot be lear\u00adned and prac\u00adti\u00adced at all, becau\u00adse the avera\u00adge class level does not per\u00admit this and tea\u00adchers often find it dif\u00adfi\u00adcult to pro\u00advi\u00adde indi\u00advi\u00addua\u00adli\u00adzed sup\u00adport<\/a>. Here too, affec\u00adted stu\u00addents face a dis\u00adad\u00advan\u00adta\u00adge for the Cen\u00adtral Ent\u00adrance Exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon for which they bear litt\u00adle responsibility. <\/p>\n

A tho\u00adrough pre\u00adpa\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon cour\u00adse is the best opti\u00adon to coun\u00adter\u00adact both of the\u00adse fac\u00adtors of une\u00adqual oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty. On the one hand, it enables the essen\u00adti\u00adal opti\u00admiza\u00adti\u00adon of preli\u00admi\u00adna\u00adry gra\u00addes throug\u00adhout the enti\u00adre 6th school year; fur\u00adther\u00admo\u00adre, it ensu\u00adres that the stu\u00addent is fami\u00adli\u00adar with all exami\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon-rele\u00advant topics and has had suf\u00adfi\u00adci\u00adent time to prac\u00adti\u00adce them. <\/p>\n<\/div>
