After the additional Baccalaureate session, the number of candidates who passed the exams rose by over 2,000 to 64.48% of the students admitted to the exams, IPN reports, quoting the Ministry of Education.

The additional session involved over 7,000 candidates. Almost 9,000 tests papers were graded. There were put approximately 4,000 grades of 5 or higher.

Thirty-nine candidates were eliminated from the examination hall in the additional session because they were caught cheating or having banned objects on them, as against 64 candidates in the basic session.

Those who didn’t pass the Baccalaureate exams are issued with a certificate showing that they studied at the lyceum if they want to. With this certificate, the students can apply to vocational schools and colleges.
