This is interesting actually. I apreciate you took your time to explain me.
The points scale sounds kinda efficient, cause they're always lazy students that are better at exams and diligent ones that gets too much stress with the idea of a exam. It seems like you have enough educative offerts.
I don't understand why they gonna change the grades system. It deos not seem very different...A,B,C,D and F give ya points too right? And they have their equivalents in the old system, I pressume.
Here everything is different:
1. You first go under "primaria" (kinda like elementary school). 5/6 -12 years. (6 courses) They don't allow ya to advance courses nor anything. This level is compulsory. The goverment gives most of options here. There aren't many private schools at this level. They give ya all the books here. When I attended they were kinda good, but nowadays they've been declined.
Then you apply the admission exam for the next level.
2.Second is "secundaria" (3 courses). It's compulsory too. Same as "primaria".
Then you apply the admission exam for the next level.
3.Here's the equivlent to High school level. Here are basically two branches:
-Technical education: Focused in a short-lenght career to study. Does not allow ya to pass to college unless you apply the exam (which very unlike you could pass, cause it ask ya about all sort of things: literacy.(Even if you want an engineering they ask ya bout history, if they didn't teach that, is unlike you know what to answer).
-common trunk education: Makes ya study all sort of mandatory courses (e.g. Logic, Universal history, Mexican history, psichology, Spanish literature, Universal literature, Mexican and Latinamerican literature, etc..). Much cannot with that much.
There's no enough offerts, not to mention privete ones are too expensive and it's not compulsory.
4.To go to college there just to ways:
-By applying the exam.
-With direct entrance (if you were in the educative institution the previous level).
There are a lot of drop out since "secundaria" cause many didn't learn enough skills to appy the exam. ALso quality btw school differs a lot. Since there ones with low level to allow students with low score to accomplish the compulsory levels...
