According to the Swedish National Agency for Education, these are tests that were supposed to have been written by around a hundred upper secondary school students this autumn in English 6, English level 1, Swedish and Swedish as a second language level 1.
There are a few upper secondary schools that will conduct the relevant exams in the autumn, most of them will write the exams during the spring semester, according to the Swedish National Agency for Education.
The digital national exams were completely canceled this spring, and all exams were written on paper or on the schools’ own platforms.
The reason was that a system update led to a number of students’ data being visible to teachers in other schools.
Problems with practice exams
This sparked massive criticism among principals and teachers. In September, the Swedish National Agency for Education announced that the platform was now live.
The reason why some exams are now being canceled is due to problems discovered during a practice exam on November 6, the Swedish National Agency for Education states. Some schools had difficulty logging in and perceived the system to be “slow.”
Therefore, the National Agency for Education now wants to clarify the analysis from that moment.
– We want to ensure that all students who take national exams have the best possible conditions to test their subject knowledge. Therefore, it is important that we can ensure that the exams can be carried out in a safe and secure manner, says Maria Weståker, head of department at the Swedish National Agency for Education in a comment on the authority’s website.
