The marks of the General Certificate of Education were not important to
admittance to universities a few years ago. Now these marks matter, and
if some students work hard to get higher marks, others hire coaches,
yet there are others who use their parent's connections.
According to the department of education of the City Hall of
Stepanakert, at the end of the academic year of 2006-2007 the ministry
of education held a test at high schools, and the marks suggested that
the marks their teachers give them are exaggerated. For instance,
of 171 A grade students only 5 got an excellent mark, and 26 got a
good mark. 44.4 percent got an unsatisfactory mark.
On the whole, 82 percent of marks of the test did not coincide with
the marks given by teachers.
