00:00The Second Congressional Committee on Education recommends ending mass promotions in the
00:05Education System. This is the practice of letting students progress to the next grade level even
00:10if they're unqualified.
00:15On Neri, performance-based bonuses of teachers and the ratings of principals are currently tied to zero.
00:20If you didn't give the supports or resources,
00:25for the teachers and the school to actually support each child the way they need to,
00:29how can you hold...
00:30hold them accountable to 100% passing rate, and then disincentivize them for every kid that does.
00:35And so what happens is, if you have anyone who does not pass, the principal...
00:40the principal's rating goes down, the school's reputation is affected, and so...
00:45So now, it becomes then a culture of, let's protect their name.
00:48He also says the...
00:50the burden to prove that students couldn't pass were on the teachers.
00:52The story of teachers...
00:55made aanton...
00:56and sometimes,
00:57some students decrease in attendance and say,
00:57hey,
00:58hey,

01:10visited the house multiple times
01:11conducted parent conferences
01:14multiple times
01:15really tutored the kids
01:16and so they're saying
01:17why?
01:19why are
01:20we penalized
01:21for actually giving genuine results
01:23for students who
01:25are really struggling
01:25and not doing well
01:27the reality of mass promotions
01:28is reflected in
01:29results of academic assessments
