The test results for junior high school textbooks have been announced, but two of the submitted textbooks, in history, are said to have been leaked outside the test before they were announced. A situation has arisen.
The Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will closely examine the examination procedures and announce the results at a later date.
In this textbook certification, the results of which were announced on the 22nd, applications were made for textbooks with 103 points for junior high school and 1 point for high school.
▼ 101 points passed after revisions based on the test opinions, while
▼ 1 point for junior high school technology was rejected. In addition to passing the exam
, ▼ 2 points in junior high school history were marked as ``incomplete,'' meaning the pass or fail was not determined.
``Unfinished'' means that, as far as we can confirm, it is extremely unusual and has no precedent in the past.
Regarding these two points, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology held off on making a decision on whether to pass or fail, stating that the specific content of the test had been leaked to the outside world before the results were announced, and that ``an abnormal situation has arisen in the test procedure.'' I think it is.
In order to ensure fair and neutral deliberations in a quiet environment, the contents of the textbook examination are kept private until the results are announced, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology does not disclose information to outside parties. It is necessary to closely examine the verification procedures, including whether there were any leaks.
Normally, the certification is completed within the fiscal year, and then the textbooks for use by local boards of education are adopted in the summer, and the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology will reassess the two points that were marked as ``incomplete'' at a later date. We plan to publish the results.
