A teacher from De Triangel primary school in Leende was recently fired due to fraud with Cito tests. The school announced this in a written statement on Wednesday morning. The results for the tests of two groups were more favorable than they actually were. “This makes an incorrect, too positive growth curve of children shared with parents. We are very sorry,” the school writes.
The teacher no longer works at the Triangel or other schools of Scholenkoepel Atalenta, which includes the school. It is not clear which groups are involved. In any case, it is not a group 8. That is why, according to the school, no school advice for secondary education is influenced. According to Atalenta, the fraud has come to light at the final or middle keys of Cito.
Differences
The tampering was discovered after an analysis of the test results. In two groups, deviations were established in the purchase and processing of the tests, the school group writes.
The results of the tests have since been canceled. And in the provisional school advice, only the test results have been included that, according to the school, are ‘demonstrated reliable’.
The school and the school dome say, in consultation with the Education Inspectorate, they have taken a number of actions to prevent recurrence in the future. For example, the Triangel team analyzes and discusses the results of the tests twice a year. The entire team of teachers, quality assistants and the participation council in which parents also contain is involved.
