OFFICIAL: GOVT 'COMMITTED' TO IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF PUBLIC EDUCATION, SURVEY PLAYS MAJOR ROLE

 

An interior ministry official has said the government is committed to improving the quality of education, and it is important to understand the opinion of parents. A questionnaire sent to parents canvasses their views on the way teachers evaluate students based on their own experiences, Zoltán Maruzsa, the state secretary for public education, said on Thursday. He said this was a vital type of feedback concerning the performance and development of students. “Evaluation is a way of shaping a child’s character and attitude,” he said, adding that more than 100,000 parents have returned the questionnaire.
