National evaluation

• Forms of external evaluation are based on standardized methods and complementary assessment of the teacher and in-tested forms.

The diagnostic of the quality of education can be used for:

• the Olympiads

• competitions in different subjects.

• Another issue is that in this case the results are compared only the best students at the school, municipal and district level.
