By JONATHAN M. HICAP, Manila Times Reporter
Public elementary and high-school students will wrap up the school year with various exams to test their competencies.
Acting Education Secretary Fe Hidalgo announced Friday that in the high-school level, the National Achievement Tests will be given on March 9 for the first year, March 14 for the fourth year and March 15 for the second year. The NAT for Grade 6 pupils will be on March 7.
The English and Filipino reading tests for Grade 3 pupils in all public schools will be on February 28.
An oral reading test and constructed response test will be given on a sample student population by the National Education Testing and Research Council from March 20 to 31.
In last year’s achievement tests, public elementary and high-school students fared poorly, with average scores below the passing mark.
Pupils in public elementary schools posted a 59.10-percent score in Math, 59.15 percent in English, 54.12 percent in Science, 61.75 percent in Filipino and 59.55 percent in Hekasi. The scores are way below the passing grade of 75 percent.
Students in public high schools also garnered scores that were below the passing mark. Based on the mean-percentage scores, public high-school students posted scores of 50.7 in Math, 51.33 in English, 39.49 in science, 42.49 in Filipino and 50.01 in Health and Sibika. The achievement tests covered the five subject areas.

Now that we know our students are not doing well what's the next step? What could we do to help students do better at school.
I stumbled upon a good business site I want to share with you the Young Entrepreneur Society from the www.YoungEntrepreneurSociety.com. A great documentary about successful entrepreneurs.
