The Education and Culture Minister has announced that, in 2021, the national exam will be replaced by a national assessment system comprising assessments on minimum competency, character and learning environment.

As it is a nationally administered assessment, the AKM can be considered a substitute for the national exam. However, when compared to the national exam, it is much more different than it is similar.
