Voices of dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction English private exam postponed 12:16 on November 1 from education
Both the voices of reassurance and dissatisfaction were heard from the education site about the postponement of the English private exam.
High School Principal “It was impossible to use private exams in the first place”
“I think there will be some confusion as a result of the postponement, but there was a lot of anxiety and doubts about going to school in Tokyo.” I would like to evaluate the postponement in the beginning of the chaos that had already begun in the storm as a site. "
On top of that, “There is no objection to improving English skills, but it was impossible in the first place to use private exams for national tests taken by 500,000 students. It was fundamental to regional and economic disparities. “It was a big problem that we were able to proceed with implementation without solving the issues.”
Expert "Private examination should be separate from entrance examination"
Nao Shibayama, a professor at the Graduate School of Education, Tohoku University, who serves as a director of the Japanese Society for Testing, said, “The system was being designed without academic support, and experts were questioning from the early stages. I think it would have been more confusing to do so, so I'm glad I made a wise decision. "
On top of that, “The English private exam is completely different from the university entrance exam in terms of quality assurance, so I think it should be canceled rather than postponed and conducted separately from the entrance exam. The introduction of the problem is not reasonable in terms of ensuring fairness and should be stopped. ”
The people of the city
We spoke in Tokyo about the postponement of the English private exam.
Last year, my 59-year-old mother said that her daughter took the university entrance exam. “I think the student is upset and sorry. I think that the policy never changed if I really thought about my child. I wanted you to work on it. "
Also, a 19-year-old daughter said, “Since I think I was preparing by solving a prediction problem at a cram school etc., I think that the students are very troubled and do not change the policy lightly. I want you to think about whether there was a need. "
A woman in her 60s who once went to Tokyo from a rural area and took a university exam said, “You can't allow young people to swing around in a mentally important time. Private exams have different conditions. I think it's strange to be influenced by that.I think it's better to revise the system itself, not postponement. "
