Calandlyceum regrets grading errors in final exams: "Should not have happened"

Three students from the Calandlyceum in Amsterdam-Nieuw-West have successfully graduated after initial grading errors were discovered in their final mathematics exams. The students were originally told they had failed in June, but after requesting to view their exam papers, they found that points had been miscounted by two teachers. School board member Judith van Biemen expressed deep regret for the incident, acknowledging the emotional impact these errors had on the students and their families. While the school maintains that human error can occur, they have conducted a full investigation and reviewed all exams graded by the two teachers involved to ensure no further mistakes remain.

To prevent future occurrences, the Calandlyceum plans to implement stricter internal controls on point calculations before final submissions are made to external second correctors. The school also aims to better inform students of their right to review their graded exam work. Meanwhile, the affected students have since received their diplomas and moved forward with their educational pursuits, with the school wishing them success in their future careers.
