Grade point average V-VIII, subtracted from the calculation of the average entry into high school

Grades V-VIII GPA will be removed from the calculation of the GPA for high school entrance, so the graduate ranking will be based only on GPA on the national assessment starting in the 2022-2023 school year.

Until now, the average entrance score, on the basis of which graduates of the 9th grade of secondary schools were enrolled, was calculated as a weighted average between the overall average score on the national assessment, made by the graduates of the 8th grade, which has a weight of 80%, and the overall average graduation score of 5 – 8th grade, which has a weight of 20% in the calculation of the average entrance score.
