Student's grades drop in English, rise in math, science
Haaretz - August 17, 2004
Students' average grades in English have dropped since 2003 in all
grades and sectors throughout the country, show the results of the
annual standardized tests released on Tuesday.
Grades did however rise in mathematics and science, said the head of the
Education Ministry's evaluation department, Gili Shield on Tuesday.
When tested in math, eighth graders from Jewish schools scored 16
percent higher than they did in 2003.
However, the rate of English students who made a passing grade according
to the ministry's standards (a grade of 56 or higher) has dropped seven
percent since last year's tests.
Arab schools scored even lower than Jewish ones, with a 12 percent
decrease in passing English grades since 2003.
