The Education and Interior Ministries have identified 11 people having committed offences at the high school exit exams last summer. The tests were published on social media, as the solutions were sent through messaging applications.

"These 11 were penalized in accordance with the law. The probe is still going on,” said Education Minister Corina Fusu. 

She says the probed people are not students having passed the exams.

21,000 students tried to take their high school exams last summer, compared to 26,000 students in 2015.

Over 13,000 took their diplomas, that’s 62%, that’s 2 p.p. less than in 2015. The city students got better grades than the village students.
