The author focuses on the increase of the age of compulsory education, cancellation of the teacher’s additional work hours, the year 6 primary school exam abolition, the possibility to appeal an exam’s results (regarding mature exam or professional qualifying exam), the possibility to take a picture of the examination papers and the changes of ‘The School Equipment’ programme.
