How to cancel the exam?

Unified State Exam AGN "Moscow"

For the first time, a certification exam in the form of the exam in Russia was held in 2001 in the republics of Mari El, Chuvashia, Yakutia, as well as in the Samara and Rostov regions.

In 2006, the USE passed more than 950 thousand schoolchildren in 79 regions of the country. Since then, the form of a single exam has been mercilessly criticized, and only the lazy, it seems, did not vote those who have introduced this system for taking into account the knowledge of schoolchildren and students.

The thesis we list the main claims to the exam that have been formulated over the years:

1. In the transition from a traditional exam to the form of the test, logical, creative and mental skills suffer;
2. Some answers can be obtained by the “poke method” or excluding potentially incorrect answers. This option of solving the test does not imply complete knowledge about the subject being studied;
3. Standardized testing in the USE format may not correspond to the knowledge that are taught at school. If the school curriculum involves a complete and deep study of the subject, knowledge through creativity, interactive and lively communication with the teacher, then testing will segment the subject, and in the tests questions may be found that the student did not pass with the teacher;
4. Obtaining an education is a complex multi-stage process, all students learn the program differently, and each student has its own special skills and abilities-does not take into account the USE of all this diversity;
5. The exam was designed to defeat corruption, but in the end there was even more corruption.

With criticism of the exam as a panacea from corruption, when accepting at universities, at the Party Party, the chairman of the St. Petersburg parent committee Mikhail Bogdanov spoke:

“One of the abstracts of the exam was the elimination of corruption in universities,” explains Bogdanov. - A single exam was needed that to create a transparent system of receipt - this was the main thesis in the introduction of the exam, which was perceived as the right society. In fact, we received a legalized payment of admission to universities with the introduction of the exam. Today, 80-90% of parents of high school students are forced to resort to paying tutors to the entrance exam, not hoping that the school can do it. ”

Bogdanova was supported by director Vladimir Menshov:

- The main argument on reducing the corruption component is refuted by time. We see how stunning results come out in the Caucasus in the Russian language.

At a press conference, the theme of which was stated the fight against the exam, the idea of ​​the “Western” influence on the Russian state was referred to the refrain, which led to the introduction of an obviously harmful form of standardized testing. The USE, the OGE is a non -wound for Russian rumor Volyapyuk and an alien system for Russian schools to train a single exam, this contest “Field of Miracles”, where not the most smart, but the most adapted wins. Or the one whose parents are richer and more advanced.

The differentness of the exam for a Russian person was noted by the member of the expert council of the party "For truth" Vladimir Menshov:

- The exam is breaking our consciousness. I remember that the police decided to rename the police and at a meeting with Medvedev raised the question that the word “police” is not the most pleasant word for a Russian person. To which Medvedev said is not the name, but to work correctly.

Why then change?

Another important minus of the exam is a modern level of Russian education in comparison with the rest of the light.

“The main argument,” says Zakhar Prilepin, the leader of the Pravda Party, “Russia has lost leading places in the school system in the world education system over the past years.

The harmful harm in the USE, according to Prilepin, in the absence of the complexity of education received by the student: children are trained for a certain test, as a result, he receives truncated, fragmented and very highly specialized knowledge. A modern person should be able to maneuver and be prepared to radically change the profession.

- The child who is trained in certain subjects is turned off from the study of other subjects and areas of knowledge. Yuri Gagarin knew “Anna Snegina” by heart. Why did he need it? I am sure that if he did not know “Anna Snegin”, then he would not have flew into space. Herman Titov did not know Snegina, so the second flew into space, ”says Zakhar Prilepin.

The skeptics said: “Why are you arranging this and saying all this, but what will it give? And if it doesn’t work out, what's next? ”

- We need a popular voice. Our action has the goal of activating popular discussion. Because the Ministry of Education is already known about this, there is simply not enough public discussion, ”says another star enemy of the exam Ivan Okhlobystin.

According to Okhlobystin and Prilepin, it is necessary to launch a public dispute, a popular wave, so that the authorities understand and hear the people and with complete confidence decide on the scrap of a modern education system and the abolition of the exam.

- The authorities need to give confidence, their positions of shaky, so we give them a pass: want to strengthen their positions, make a decision regarding the exam, and the people will support you.

As a public campaign designed to express the popular discontent of the exam, the action “Against the exam” will be. Prilepin, Okhlobystin and Menshov call on December 2 all parents not to send their children to the classes to train to the exam, and to ignore this day, just do not come to these classes. What you need to write about in social networks, attaching the corresponding hashtag #antiheges, #nethese or any other.

And as an USE alternative, the speakers proposed to return to the Soviet education system, verified, prestigious and, as history showed, is effective.
