The director of the Standardized National Scholastic Tests at the Ministry of Education, Ancell Scheker has announced that this year the tests will be sealed in plastic so that no one can open them and read them before the students sit for the examinations. She said that in previous years the tests used to be sent in sealed paper envelopes but due to humidity they were easily opened and sometimes they got wet and spoiled and had to be replaced. She said that the new packaging would have to be opened with scissors.
The tests are scheduled for Grade 8 on 16th to 20th June and for High School (Bachillerato) on 24th and 27th June.
