A new inquiry suggests overhauling the current A-F grading system, proposing to replace it with a 1-10 scale to alleviate the harsh consequences of failing grades. Last year, nearly 20,000 ninth-graders failed to qualify for upper secondary school. The new system would allow for retaking exams and focus on an average grade of four or higher for acceptance into secondary education, rather than a strict pass-fail criterion. This approach aims to improve educational outcomes and reduce stress among students, making education more accessible.
The new grading system proposes a scale from 1-10 without a strict pass-fail mark, allowing students with lower grades to still qualify for upper secondary school.
The proposed changes aim to reduce dramatic consequences for failing students by allowing an average of grades to qualify for acceptance to secondary education.
