National Tests
National test items requires higher-order thinking.
For example, in mathematics, tedious computation is not emphasized. Instead problem solving is important. In science, process skills are
tested significantly.

Teacher Education (Pre-Service)
A uniform systematic pre-service teacher education.
Grades 11 – 12 teachers are specialists.Grades 7 – 10 teachers are semi-specialists, trained in two subjects.
Grades 1 – 6 teachers are generalists. However, they receive substantial mathematics and science education.
