9 │ EVALUATION IN THE PERIOD OF DISTANCE LEARNING Distance learning in basic and upper secondary schools in the Czech Republic 53 As a result of distance learning, there has also been a partial change in final evaluation. Although schools were recommended oral assessment or a combination of evaluation using grades supplemented by oral assessment in the 12final grading for the first half of the 2020/2021 school year, grading clearly prevailed in school reports. 15% of basic schools and less than 10% of upper secondary schools changed their approach to final evaluation in the first half of the 2020/2021 school year. In basic schools, one third of the cases involved the introduction of combined or oral assessment in all classes; in the remaining cases, combined or oral assessment was only introduced in some classes or for some pupils. In upper secondary schools, it was mainly the introduction of combined assessment for some pupils (often failing). In the future, approximately 6% of other basic schools are considering the introduction of oral assessment. CHART 29 | Methods of final evaluation in the first half of the 2020/2021 school year 12 At the beginning of January 2021, the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports, together with the Czech School Inspectorate, prepared a joint recommendation for schools for evaluation in school reports for the first half of the 2020/2021 school year.
