According to several DNA members, students who receive an unsatisfactory grade in only one or two subjects have to repeat an entire school year. Others performed well in class but fell short during the test. Many believe these grade 10 students deserve a resit, but that was not the case this school year.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"postie-post\">Currie noted that it has always been the case that grade 10 students who do not pass the test do not move on. There has never been a resit in grade 10, and this was also not the case when this test was administered in grade 8. \u201cIt has been this way for years and it was adopted as such.\u201d He does not agree with it, because only at this point is a resit not possible. At all other times, resits are possible for students.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"postie-post\">To prevent chaos, this rule was not changed, but it is quite possible that it will be changed in the coming school year. \u201cThe student&#8217;s interests are central. That is why it is now being considered whether an exception should be made for grade 10 students, and a decision will be taken soon,\u201d Currie said.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the next school year, Year 10 students may be given the opportunity to resit tests, a change Minister Currie is considering to safeguard the interests of students.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":176229,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":{"facebook_29234516172805655_1309923202201307":"","facebook_29234516172805655_1158244960706604":"","facebook_29234516172805655_1093738170500407":"","facebook_29234516172805655_108923581283702":""},"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","jnews-multi-image_gallery":[],"jnews_single_post":{"format":"standard"},"jnews_primary_category":[],"jnews_override_counter":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[16333],"tags":[16291,20032,16292],"class_list":["post-184885","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general","tag-key-news","tag-nieuws","tag-suriname"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"publish","pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184885","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/146"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=184885"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184885\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":186269,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/184885\/revisions\/186269"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/176229"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=184885"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=184885"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/keynews.sr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=184885"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
