In order to obtain a school diploma, students in the 12<sup class=\"nonSup\">th<\/sup> grade must pass computer adaptive standardized examinations in all school subjects. The National Examinations Center administers the examinations online in every school.<\/p>\n<p class=\"BodyText\">In addition to school leaving examinations, Georgia has been administering a national assessment in STEM subjects for students in the ninth grade, since 2015, in order to better understand the quality of teaching and learning as well as the curriculum in STEM subjects, including mathematics. The National Assessment and Examinations Center administered the national assessment in mathematics to students in the ninth grade and collected background data through principal, teacher, student, and parent questionnaires in 2015. The results are forthcoming. A national assessment for students in the ninth grade in physics, biology, and chemistry is scheduled for 2016.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Monitoring Student Progress in Mathematics and Science Since 2006, the assessment scale in Georgia has been changed from a scale ranging from 2 to 5 to a scale ranging from 1 to 10.
