Statistical analysis of the grades at the end of the semester in the following subjects: native tongue, history, mathematics and chemistry in Zadar primary school (7th graders) given to the pupils by 29 teachers (age up to 40) and 29 teachers older than 40, showed that younger teachers are somewhat less strict in grading than the older teachers but there is no significant difference. The value of hi-square was 1,32 which does not have any statistical significance. The conclusion is that the age of the teachers does not have any influence on their personal equation in the evaluations of pupils’ knowledge in the schools.
