A group of high-school graduates protested in front of the Prime
Minister’s Office, against the new scheme for student admission in state
universities. Students protest because their average grade is high, and
yet they didn’t win.

“My average is 9.57 and my desire was to win for Economic Informatics, Computer Engineering and Telecommunication Engineering. I didn’t win and I was listed below”, one of the candidates says.

“My average grade was 9.3. I chose medicine and some branches of economics. I gaven’t won in any of them”, another candidate says.

“The reason is that you have chosen branches that have so much demand and competition. All average grades are high. The best have won”, explained Plarent Ndreca, General Secretary of the Ministry.

There are graduates who have not won because the majors they have chosen had a very high average.

“My average was 9, and I applied for journalism. They have favored students who have been tested in much simpler subjects, such as Sociology and Psychology. I had mathematics and I was below. There were students before me who had a lower average grade and they even got a lower grade in the admission test”, another one says.

“The students should have considered  the high competition in these subjects”, Ndreca said.
