Technical error detected in certification exam, scores changed

More than 2,000 teachers participated in the certification exam held from June 17 to 25, with an attendance rate of 96 percent.

This was reported to elchi by the Institute of Education.

The certification process, which took place in 35 examination centers, involved educators teaching Azerbaijani language, Russian language, Azerbaijani language and literature, Russian language and literature, French, German, fine arts, music, physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, geography, informatics, English, primary education, history, physical education, and technology.

After the acceptance of appeal applications for the test exam stage ended on July 26 at 12:00, all received applications were reviewed by relevant experts, and the test items were analyzed in detail. The experts determined that there were no inconsistencies between the design of the test items and the relevant framework documents and teaching materials. At the same time, they noted that there were technical problems in some questions.

Thus, technical inconsistencies affecting the assessment were identified in the exam held on June 24 for the history subject in the Azerbaijani and Russian sections (2 items), in the exam held on June 24 for the mathematics subject in the Azerbaijani and Russian sections (1 item), in the exam held on June 25 for the technology subject in the Azerbaijani section (1 item), and in the physical education subject in the Russian section (1 item).

After taking the technical errors into account, the relevant score adjustments for those test items were calculated in favor of the teachers who were presented with the questions.

The updated results have already been sent to the teachers’ personal accounts on the portal.edu.az platform. Teachers can access the “Certification” section of the platform to review their appeal results.
