"Is 'matura to bzdura'?"

The form of the matriculation exam itself has evolved over the years. In the years 1932–1948, the matura exam was held on completely different rules. First of all, students took the exam twice. After graduating from a four-year gymnasium, students took the 'small matura' exam, which gave them access to a two-year high school, which ended with a 'major matura' exam. What is very important, not everyone could pass the maturity exam.

However, major changes can be observed after 1989 . Only two subjects were compulsory in the written examination. Students had to pass an exam in Polish and in one selected subject. There was also no possibility of taking the exam in an extended form.

In the past, the result of the matriculation examination was included in the scale of grades from 1 to 6, and representatives of a given school sat on the commission. Currently, the assessment is presented on a percentage scale and the committee must include at least one teacher from outside the school. There are also differences in the course of the oral exam, which is currently compulsory. In addition, today it is also mandatory to pass the final exam in Polish, a foreign language, mathematics and one selected subject.

How do you view high school graduation these days?

Do you agree with the statement that "matura is nonsense"?

Has the attitude of young people changed dramatically and they no longer care about passing the matriculation exam?

Due to the fact that the current generation is no longer so eager to continue studying at university, do they not approach the maturity exam with commitment?

What are your observations on this?

How were your exams?

Personally, I believe that the statement "matura is nonsense" is definitely too hasty. The maturity exam is important because it confirms the knowledge and skills acquired by the student during their education. Although it may not be perfect, it plays an important role in the education system. In my opinion, young people's approach to the maturity exam may vary depending on their individual motivations and career plans. Some may not see the need to take the maturity exam if their goals involve paths other than university studies. Personally, I remember that the maturity exam was stressful for me, but also a motivation to study and prove my skills. It seems to me that experiences related to the maturity exam can vary greatly depending on the individual.
