State Commission: Many 9th Graders Receive Support Too Late
The State Pedagogical Medical Commission reported that in 2024, 51 ninth graders received an assessment for necessary support only at the end of the school year, suggesting delays in aid. Overall, 544 students were evaluated, with most opinions issued for 7th graders.
The State Pedagogical Medical Commission considers the number of 9th graders who received a support recommendation only at the final stage of their studies as concerning. Last year, 51 such cases were recorded, which may indicate that some students did not receive timely support measures.
In total, the commission assessed 544 students' abilities, development levels, and health conditions, holding 79 sessions. The majority of those evaluated were boys, while the most opinions were issued for 7th graders. A total of 523 opinions were given regarding the most suitable education program. Most frequently, these pertained to special basic education programs for students with learning disabilities. Ten students were recommended a general basic education program with support measures during the learning process and examinations.
Additionally, five online seminars on special and inclusive education were held during the year, attended by nearly 500 teachers and specialists.
