Centralized tests to begin on June 15 in Belarus

The centralized tests in Belarus will begin on June 15 this year. According to Education Minister Alexander Radzkou, the terms of the tests could be shifted due to the president's decree which sets the term in Belarusian schools from September 1 through June 1.  The minister reminded that the centralized tests used to begin on June 12 before. He also stressed that certificates would be given to anyone who received more than 1 mark during the tests. "This will increase their chances to enroll with universities", Radzkou said.
