The First Session of the Baccalaureate in 2013

Almost 190,000 high school graduates in Romania have registered for the first session of the graduation exam, the Baccalaureate.

They will be sitting for the exam in 585 centers.

In 2011, only one in two students passed the baccalaureate.

In several high schools throughout the country, not a single student passed the exam, and in most counties, the percentage of students passing it was lower than in the previous year.

The situation was the same in 2012.

Oral exams will be held until the 28th June.

Then follow the written exams, starting the 1st of July.

This year, depending on the orientation of the high school the students went to, compulsory subjects will differ.

Students who have graduated from high schools oriented towards the humanities and pedagogy will take the exam in different topics than those who went to science, technology and vocational schools.

In mathematics, subjects will differ for natural science oriented high schools and technology high schools.

The grades will be posted on July 12.
