Annakarin Johansson Sandman is Head of Academics at IES. She does not know the information but believes that it is serious if it is true.
– This is a description that we do not recognize, but if this is how it has gone, it is really not good. We work continuously with our schools to ensure that they give correct grades.
Stands out in the National Agency for Education’s statistics
One of the measures that the National Agency for Education uses to determine whether a school sets too high grades is to compare the final grades with the grades on the national test. SVT’s review shows that IES Kista in the latest survey from 2019, has given 74 percent of students in year nine a higher final grade in math than they received on the national test.
Annakarin Johansson Sandman knows the information and believes that the school has worked continuously to even out the difference.
– It is extremely important for us that the grading is done correctly and that the grade on the national test is reflected in the final grades.
“It does not feel good”
What do you say to those teachers who are disappointed with IES’s actions?
– I think it’s sad that they feel disappointed. It really does not feel good.
