In Belarus, a ten-point grading scale is used since 2002. It is used in primary, secondary and higher education.[1]

Marks "1" and "2" are considered as "Fail" at school. In higher education "3" is also considered as "Fail".

Besides grades, a "pass" / "no pass" mark may be used for some subjects. E.g. it's an "Art" subject in Secondary School.[4]
