The National Center for Assessment of the Quality of Education and Information Technologies in Kyrgyzstan has prepared a project proposal for implementing a seven- and ten-point grading system. Baktygul Shamshidinova, the director of the center, shared this with 24.kg.
The project is ready and may be discussed as part of the transition to a 12-year education model. Shamshidinova explained that a more detailed grading scale allows for a more accurate assessment of students’ performance. “The longer the scale, the more correctly you evaluate the student. Therefore, many countries use grading systems with scales of 7, 10, 12, 20, and even 100 points. We currently have, in effect, a three-point system—three, four, and five. Grades one and two are not in use,” she noted.
The idea of revising the assessment system in Kyrgyzstan has been under discussion for several years.
