Prohibited: Conducting Exams in Auditoriums with Round Tables (According to Rosobrnazhor)
On May 24, Ekaterina Mizulina, head of the Safe Internet League, announced that she had lodged a complaint with Rosobrnadzor on May 23. The complaint was made following a school report that students were taking exams at a round table, which did not create the required isolation and confidentiality for the Unified State Exam (USE). As a consequence, Rosobrnadzor explained that future exams would not be conducted in rooms with round tables.
Rosobrnadzor further revealed receiving three complaints about the examination process on May 23, including two in Moscow. The first involved a round table during a history exam, while the second concerned a student's inability to use their own non-programmable calculator during a chemistry exam. A third complaint, from the Samara region, reported noise in a student's hearing aid due to signal jamming devices. Rosobrnadzor confirmed all these violations had transpired.
The initial phase of the USE began on May 23, with exams in history, literature, and chemistry. Rosobrnadzor reported that around 225,000 individuals participated in the first day's exams, with 3,426 exam centers involved. Parents are present at the centers this year to ensure the protection of graduates' rights and comfortable conditions. According to Rosobrnadzor, parents have already reported 115 violations in the early days of the USE.
In the broader context, recent investigations and violations during the USE highlight several logistical challenges and systemic issues in Russia's education system, a weave that includes discrimination against migrant children. Ongoing concerns include unauthorized persons at exam sites, lack of metal detectors, assistance given to participants by organizers, and inadequate provision of necessary materials like drafts or additional answer sheets.
The Unified State Exam plays a vital role in Russia's education system, but recent developments have brought both practical hurdles and systemic concerns to light. Understanding and addressing these challenges will help ensure a fair and accessible exam process for all students.
In the wake of the Unified State Exam (USE), Rosobrnadzor, the agency responsible for overseeing education and self-development in Russia, has received general news about multiple violations that occurred during the initial phase of the exam. Parents, who are present at the exam centers to ensure safe conditions, have reported 115 violations, including unauthorized persons at exam sites, lack of metal detectors, assistance given to participants by organizers, and inadequate provision of necessary materials. These issues highlight the need for education system self-development to address systemic concerns and create a fair and accessible exam process.
