Index – Domestic – Scandal in Budapest grammar school: written entrance exam interrupted
Today, about 73,000 students applying for the 9th grade, 6th and 8th grade grammar schools, and the Arany János Talent Care Program announced by the Ministry of Human Resources (Emmi) wrote the secondary entrance exam. It turned out that one of the institutions had an irregularity during the entrance examination, so the procedure had to be interrupted.
According to Emmi’s announcement, the admission procedure was in order, in accordance with the epidemiological regulations that had already been proven in the previous year. The regular conduct of the examinations was inspected by the maintainer or the government office at about 20 percent of the examination sites.
The inspectors found a serious irregularity in an institution. The Hungarian worksheets were opened prematurely, which may have given rise to abuse, so the Hungarian written exam must be written at the additional time by the 160 students concerned at the given exam location, they said. The Index was informed that the institution concerned was the Horn Foundation School.
The grammar school recordings are still being written at the Kürt Foundation School today, but a few small children opened the series of Hungarian assignments five minutes earlier than they should have been, so the writing of the Hungarian recordings was blown out throughout the school. Raging parents, crying children
A reader recalled what happened.
THE hvg.huto one parent said it was pointless that so many children would not write the recording because of such a case. He added:
The kids have been talking about this recording in their lives since September, they haven’t slept, they’re stressed. It turns out now that they can’t write.
Emmi: The school committed a serious irregularity
The Ministry of Human Resources should be informed that there is no question that “a few small children opened the Hungarian task list five minutes earlier than they should have been”
– Zoltán Maruzsa, Secretary of State for Public Education, informed our editorial office after the publication of our article. He stated that the worksheets could have been opened at half past ten at the earliest, and half an hour before the start of the exam. This is because the recorders are already sitting in the room, and if anyone sees a task during the demolition, they can no longer get the solution to a recorder, he added.
By the time the inspectors arrived, well before half past ten, the worksheets had already been opened by the institution’s management, which could lead to serious abuses, the secretary of state recalled. He underlined that, due to a clear irregularity in the management of the grammar school, the worksheets were not even distributed to the applicants at the given location.
According to Zoltán Maruzsa, the erroneous assumption that the inspectors acted too strictly is the weightlessness of the actual recruitment institution. The role of the audits is precisely to ensure that no undue advantage or fraud can be obtained anywhere, which is in the interest of all recruiters, the Secretary of State emphasized.
Students can write the admission on January 27th
The recorders will write their Hungarian recordings on the additional day, Thursday, January 27, Lajos Molnár, the head of the Kürt Foundation School, told us. In his reply, he wrote:
The Hungarian part of the enrollment in today’s secondary schools did not take place in our school. The reason for this was that the staff of the school opened the Hungarian worksheets not around the required time, not at 9:30 am, but earlier, around 9:30 am, in order to prepare the admission in the best possible time. During the official inspection, the employees of the Budapest Government Office noticed this, therefore they ordered the postponement of the Hungarian admission. I can write the Hungarian recordings on the additional day, Thursday, January 27, at our school of recorders.
In the case of math recording, the recorders could decide whether or not to write the recording today. Anyone who has decided not to write today will also have the opportunity to do so at school on Thursday, January 27, Lajos Molnár announced. The institution apologized to the families, students and parents concerned for the information published on the site and on their website. noticein them too.
We always take great care to follow the rules and regulations. This is not to say that we do not make mistakes. In this case, too, it happened, even with the best of intentions. We have, of course, launched an inquiry into the matter and we will take the necessary action
Said the head of the institution.
