Zagreb, April 29 (CP) – Following protests by secondary school pupils across the county on Monday who were voicing their disapproval over the introduction of the final school exam without proper preparations, the Education Minister Dragan Primorac has announced that the whole operation was to be postponed for a year.

Primorac put some of the blame on his assistants saying that he was always told that the pupils were well informed about the new type of exam and only now had he learned that this was not so.

The final state exam for last year secondary school pupils is an anti-corruption measure where pupils depend only on their knowledge, explained Primorac.

The bottom line is that the pupils managed to voice their disapproval of the ongoings and secured that the final state exam is introduced next year, which will give both the schools and the pupils, a year during which to get better acquainted with the necessary procedures.
