"We say there should be a system, which would get students used to certain control on the one hand and let them realize their place on the achievement scale on the other," Pavalkis told a news conference on Wednesday.
According to a press release circulated by the Education and Science Ministry, such tests would enable schools to work out plans for improving their teaching.
Only standardized mathematics and Lithuanian language tests for the 4th and the 8th grade and history tests for the 8th grade should be prepared by 2015. According to the minister, knowledge of other subjects could be tested in the future as well.
