All seventh graders receive E in German – Smålandsposten

Linnaeus school German teacher took sick leave during part of the fall semester and the vicar was not qualified enough. Therefore, all seventh graders grade E.
But ratings must be individual, according to the National Agency.

At the end of last week the students who studied German at Linnéskolan grades 7-9, as well as their guardians, an information letter from principals Charlotte Ingvarsson and Jorgen Rosen.
Teacher in German has been on sick leave during part of the autumn. Substitute called in, but with insufficient knowledge, “which has made education has not kept the quality that we want,” they write.
Therefore, all students in grade 7 grade E, ie just approved. For grade 8 and 9, then the previous grade will be transferred to this term. During the next semester, all German students will be offered tuition with a qualified teacher to give them the opportunity to reach their goals.
But to give a collective rating of all pupils is wrong, says the National Agency Head of the testing and assessment unit Karin Hector- Stahre.
– The lump give the same rating is not compatible with the rules as there shall be an individual assessment of student ach ievement, she says.
Nor is it possible to set a grade without chips. Primarily, it is the teacher in charge at the time of grading to be a mark. If the teacher does not have registration must be done in consultation with the person who is licensed. If neither is possible, Rector decide on the ratings. But it does so, that a basis for rating exists and that teaching was conducted, explains Karin Hector-Stahre.
– In this case it seems that the students did not receive the education they should have, she says.
In terms of grades to students in grades 8 and 9 are nebulous state, she continues. Have no instruction has been conducted, it can last the grade indicated in the rating document. But it would have to be clear that it is an old scores.
– But it’s serious for those in grade 9. They are looking to the high school in his fall semester grades. It could theoretically influence whether you will or not, she says.
What conseque nces will be, she can not say.
– They will probably be more for the individual student. But the headmaster must surely correct it so that students receive individual grades.
If someone notifies the event may Schools Inspectorate start an inspection.
Smålandsposten have searched both principals of Linnéskolan, Charlotte Ingvarsson and Jorgen Rosen, without success. Training Manager Charlotta Kabo Stenberg was not aware that rating decision taken and would not comment.
