The test part is excluded from the exam

Starting next year, block A is completely excluded from the exam, consisting of questions, for each of which you need to choose one of the four proposed response options. This was reported by Izvestia with reference to the head of the Ministry of Education and Science Dmitry Livanov. According to the official, this will contribute to the "increase in the transparency of the Unified State Exam."

Among other planned changes - the introduction of the oral part in the USE in humanitarian subjects. First of all, the oral part will be included in exams in a foreign language, then in literature, history and other humanitarian disciplines.

Officials intend to organize the implementation of written tasks not in paper, but in electronic form. “First, only a single computer science exam will take on the computer,” Livanov said, “but I do not exclude that after the test we will extend this practice to the rest of the items.”

The final list of changes, the minister added, will be prepared no later than August, so that by September 1 it became known by what rules the exam will be held in 2015.

Andrei Demidov, co -chair of the Interregional Trade Union of Education Workers, called the exclusion of the test part from the exam of a populist measure. “As I understand it, with such a step they expect to get rid of reproaches to the exam about the coach,” the social activist said. A really serious task, he added, would be the expansion of Block C, consisting of creative tasks. Now this block is optional, while it should be made mandatory, Demidov said.
