The test part will be removed from the exam in literature

Minister of Education Olga Vasilieva talked about how the final exam for schoolchildren will change in the coming years. Literature will become the first subject where all tasks will be creative with a detailed answer, but this is the direction of development of the exam and in other subjects, she said in an interview with REN TV .

She emphasized that the changes will begin not this school year, but in the next. "The specialists of the FIPI Institute have developed a promising model of the exam in literature, which, once again I say, will be in the next academic year. What is the fundamental difference between what will happen, and between what we have in schools? First of all, this will be an object, the only subject in which there will be only creative tasks with a detailed answer," the Minister said.

According to her, there will be three blocks in the exam in literature, and they will all be creative, without the opportunity to choose the correct answer. The first two blocks are a literary and comparative -imbulent analysis, and the third is an expanded essay. For him they will offer more: five instead of three.

The general task of reform, she called the deliverance from test tasks. “I can say that the tasks have been excluded for a long time where the student chose one of the four answers proposed to him. In literature, we removed in 2008, in mathematics - 2010. As for the Russian language, this is 2015. As for social studies, history, geography, computer science, this year. Physics, chemistry, biology - this will go on the 17th year, that is, this academic year,” she recalled.

In addition, the head of the Ministry of Education said that in 2017, 11-graders will have to take verification control work, and in all subjects. "No need to be scared, because schools write control and general work every year. It will simply be on a single day this year. It will be a single task."

According to Vasilyeva, a wide range of tests will allow you to pushing into the background the practice of "dragging" - "when they close their eyes to everything, just to pass the same exam that are selected." “If you studied throughout your school life, then there is no such fear of passing the exam. And at the same time you have a mandatory basic minimum. You have passed the objects that you should have passed. And while you have the assessment of these items will be reduced to control and proceedings,” she explained.

As RBC recalls, earlier Rosobrnadzor reported on the development of a literature exam model. The head of the department, Sergei Kravtsov, also indicated that it is important to switch to "completely to the creative tasks that most evaluate the creative abilities of schoolchildren."
