The collection of signatures for the abolition of five All-Russian verification work(VPR) for 11-graders. There are several petitions, one of which has already been signed by tens of thousands of people.
At school teenage forums, the next innovations are vigorously discussed, parents and teachers are worried - they believe that now they will have to spend a lot of time preparing for the VPR - in order to remember, a couple of months before the state exams, those subjects that will not be useful in the future in the chosen specialty (and for which must pass the exam).
Rosobrnadzor so far recommends not to take into account the results of the All-Russian verification work when grading in the certificate and assures that there are no reasons for concern. About all this in more detail - in an interview with Anzor Muzaev, Deputy Head of the Federal Service for Supervision in Education and Science, to Anastasia Melnikova, columnist for the Rossiya Segodnya news agency.
— Why are All-Russian Testing Works (VPR) in five non-core subjects being introduced in schools?
- Why do we introduce VPR? Why do we want all graduates of the school to write a paper in chemistry or biology, including those who consider themselves humanities? Not to make life difficult for them.
This was done in order to see the real picture of the state of education in the school. The exam is not indicative here, because the guys who have chosen certain subjects for themselves on the exam are motivated, they will additionally study. Their result is not only the result of the work of the school, the teacher. The VPR here will be a more accurate indicator and an "alarm bell" if there are problems with the teaching of certain subjects in a school, region, municipality.
Now schools themselves check how students have mastered subjects that are not included in the USE or GIA-9, they themselves conduct test papers. They carry them out on their own assignments. No one controls how these tasks are composed, what their level of difficulty is, how their performance is evaluated.
By introducing the VPR, we offered schools a single standard of assessment. And the federal and regional educational authorities, and the school principals themselves, and, importantly, parents can see the real picture - what they could or could not teach at their school.
- It was reported that for graduates this will become "a kind of mechanism directed against" coaching for the exam, "but the exam remains, only now the control ones are being added. Pupils, future graduates, their parents and teachers are in worries ...
“There is no need for fears and excitement, there is no need to worry. We are talking only about the control work on the results of the study of the relevant subject. Such tests were and are being carried out by schools in all subjects, this is a completely natural part of educational process.
VPRs do not affect the certificate, based on their results no vital decisions are made for the graduate, you don’t need to prepare for them (VPRs) in any special way - you just need to study. We do not recommend that schools take into account the results of the VPR when grading in the certificate.
- This is very important - that the results of the VPR do not affect the final grades. Well, since this is an approbation, and the participation of schools is voluntary, then who, as a result, decides that this or that school participates in this experiment? School directors? Students and their parents?
— The decision to participate is made by the school. If such a decision is made, then the director must then issue an order, on the basis of which it is determined who and how participates in the control work.
- And if the school writes control, but one of the 11th graders refuses (since this is a voluntary matter). For example, he wants to focus only on preparing for those subjects in which he will take the exam - is this option possible?
— The rights and obligations of all participants in the educational process are defined by the law "On Education in the Russian Federation".
The law contains a description of the powers of the school to organize various forms certification. If a teacher in a class announces that a test will take place on such and such a day, then the students are not accepted to challenge this decision, are they?
If a student is going to enter a technical university, does this mean that he should generally refuse to study the basics of the history of his country? Or the basics of the functioning of your own organism, or elementary laws nature? Let's not turn graduates into "specialists like flux" (Kozma Prutkov - ed.).
— Who's talking about refusing to study? All schoolchildren study the rest of the subjects for years. If you are referring to Kozma Prutkov, I will quote another of his statements: "Do not take anything to the extreme." Well, the question about the voluntary participation of students in the VPR was asked in connection with your own recent interview, in which you, I quote, literally said the following: "The participation of schools [in the conduct of the VPR] is voluntary. Moreover, the students themselves participate voluntarily."
And I can repeat the same to you. In general, VPR is not the exam at all. But it really checks the most significant aspects of each subject - what is important for later life and general development.
— Will CDFs be mandatory in the future?
- At the moment we are talking about the VPR 2017, which are held by the decision of the school. Other decisions can only be made after a comprehensive discussion with all interested communities.
- How will the subjects for the control ones be selected - after all, all graduates, in addition to the mandatory USE, have completely different state exams?
— Now we are talking about the mode of approbation. The future will show what organizational form carrying out VPR will be the most effective.
— What other verification work is planned in this academic year spend in other classes?
- This year, 4th grade students from all schools will write All-Russian test papers on the Russian language, mathematics and the world around them. For the 5th grades, VPR in the Russian language, mathematics, history and biology will be held in the testing mode, that is, on a voluntary basis. In November, we also conducted a VPR in Russian for grades 2 and 5, in which about a quarter of the country's schools took part.
— How will the participation of schools in the VPR affect their ratings?
- The level of results will not be taken into account in any ratings. Perhaps in the future, when the school conducts a self-assessment of its work, it makes sense to take into account the mass participation in the VPR, since the results of the VPR make it possible to make the school transparent, to provide more information about its work for parents and the public.
— How many schools this academic year have decided to conduct VPR?
- In May, when we conducted the VPR in the 4th grade, 37 thousand schools, about 1.3 million children, participated in them. This is the vast majority of schools in Russia (about 9/10). Given that participation was voluntary, this is an impressive figure. We don't yet have data on how many schools will conduct VPR in grades 5 and 11 in the spring, but we hope that participation will be no less active.
- And yet - in April 2017, some schools will conduct a VPR: somewhere they will write bad tests in chemistry, somewhere in physics, and then what? Will the teachers be fired? Somewhere there will be excellent results - and in this case, what will follow? Incentive awards?
- No one will be fired. But if the director decides to carry out the work objectively, then he, as well as all teachers and all parents, will receive very valuable information with which they can continue to work.
This is a completely natural way, known to the school since time immemorial. There is nothing new here, control work has always been carried out.
The peculiarity of the VPR is only that the school and parents get the opportunity to see their performance in comparison with the whole country. And if a child could not be taught something, it is necessary to work with this school, with the teacher, to retrain and improve their qualifications so that a student of any school can receive a full-fledged education.
- Why are some additional exams or new requirements are introduced precisely in the 11th grade? It is already difficult for future graduates, this is a very responsible, busy year, which actually has an impact on the whole life. Why load eleventh graders even more? What you have learned is what will come out. Maybe it is worth starting reforms in the lower and middle grades in order to gradually prepare future graduates for new realities?
- VPR set the acceptable level of requirements, within which children and teachers can finally find a compromise and not refuse to study an "unnecessary" subject at all, but take from it all the most significant, important from the point of view of later life and general development. This is a path to greater honesty in education, an opportunity for graduates to speak with full right of getting a general secondary education, rather than specialized training in three subjects of the Unified State Examination.
Anzor Akhmedovich, please tell us about yourself: where did you study, what did you want to become and could you imagine that your activity would be so closely connected with the field of education?
When I was at school, I assumed that I would follow in my father's footsteps and work as an investigator in the police. Of course, we actively discussed my future with my parents, but still there was no certainty until the senior classes. But a chance decided everything: we learned that at the Chechen-Ingush State Pedagogical Institute (as this university was called before), there are courses for a young teacher for graduation classes.
For two years I went to these courses, studied Russian, mathematics, physics. Lectures were given to us by university professors, and it was very interesting. Final exams I passed perfectly, and they told me that after receiving the certificate, they would automatically enroll me in this institute.
Did you make a decision right away?
Almost immediately, although I will not hide it, I used to consider other options. But this institute was the youngest university in Grozny, with new buildings, with interesting teachers - I have already managed to make sure of this while studying at the courses. This is how my immersion into the profession began.
One of the integral components of the life of a future teacher is practice at school ...
We did practice in two schools, and each had its own specifics. At the Lyceum at the Grozny Oil Institute, we had a job connected not with teaching, but with educational work. At another school, my classmates and I already taught lessons: labor and general technical disciplines.
People did not give up, and none of the universities closed - honor and praise to our students and their parents, to the entire teaching staff
Did you plan to stay at school?
No, from the very beginning I knew that I would continue to study, and then, if I did teach, it would only be at a university.
And so it happened. In the mid-nineties, the situation in Chechnya was difficult: I already graduated from the institute in 1996 after the first military campaign. In Grozny, it was no longer possible to continue postgraduate studies.
I went to study in Makhachkala, at the Polytechnic University, chose the specialty "Mechanical Engineering Technology". There was a lot of work, I collected materials for the dissertation, conducted experiments, went for consultations to supervisor to Astrakhan, participated in conferences and prepared for defense.
In 2003, I came to the defense at the St. Petersburg State technical university. And all this time he taught at the Chechen State Pedagogical Institute and the Grozny State Technical University.
What do you remember about teaching at the university?
It coincided with very difficult times in the history of our republic and the whole country: the crisis was raging, money was depreciating. Grozny was destroyed after the first military campaign.
But people did not give up, and not a single university was closed - honor and praise to our students and their parents, to the entire teaching staff. Despite the lack of wages, shelling and roadblocks, they went to study and work.
We sat at the stoves, in rooms with windows sealed with foil. Attendance was 100%! People believed that everything would change in better side that the transitional period is temporary. That's how it all happened.
And they won, science and the desire to save our higher school won.
I still meet many of these guys now: they have become engineers, teachers, work in the administration and in government structures. And I am proud that I also had a hand in their upbringing, in the fact that they became law-abiding citizens of Russia, patriots of their homeland - both the republic and the country.
Traditionally, its custom character has remained (based on 30 million rubles), its traditional author (already "native" Svetlana Subbotina), traditionally positive tone with a touch of heroism.
All but one.
Unlike previous similar publications, Rosobrnadzor has changed its face.
Instead of former "head of the Unified State Examination" speaker Sergei Kravtsov the interview is given by the deputy head of Rosobrnadzor, who is called the "chief curator of the Unified State Examination" by the newspaper. So, no more, no less after 9 months of bravado and promises by Sergey Kravtsov, the main thing is not Kravtsov, but Muzaev.
Main or extreme?
We repeat - the last six months in all interviews, television stories, comments , statements , meetings in the highest bodies of state power Sergey Kravtsov was the "head of the Unified State Examination", and now, when clearly "smell of fried"(although, perhaps, singed) - the chief is no longer Kravtsov.
Recall that Sergei Kravtsov has been appointed head of Rosobrnadzor since September 2013.
Previously, he headed the department of the Ministry of Education and Science, which coordinated project budget expenditures, including development, organization and holding the exam . Here is the Regulations on the Department, which until September 2013 was headed by Kravtsov. Briefly describe the essence of the work of the Department - he decides How many on what to spend and to which of the subordinate services (Rosobrnadzor and Rosomolodezh) how much money to bring to what.
How much money do you really need for the exam?
Here is one of the first interviews of Kravtsov in his new position with the Russian newspaper - http://www.rg.ru/2013/10/22/kravtsov.html As you can see, there is practically nothing but the exam and school questions. And the title above the photo of the new head of Rosobrnadzor is very sonorous.
"Egeist" – so aptly Russian newspaper christened Sergei Kravtsov.
So, Anzor Muzaev said that there was not a single leak, and his head Sergey Kravtsov announced the leak on the same day.
We would have swallowed this, speaking in hardware language, “setup”, but the leading communication and PR agencies of Russia work for Rosobrnadzor, such they don't allow blunders. All this is very similar to panic responsibility transfer operation from a sick head to a healthy one.
half a year Sergey Kravtsov promised society a successful exam, and when on the horizon Loomed checks on purchases for a billion, revelations and a criminal case on incitement to suicide, "chief in the exam" rapidly changed, and also provokes a conflict with the leading critic of Minister Livanov.
A day after the publication in Izvestia, the second “control in the head” came out, or rather in two heads. On Channel One in prime time in the popular program "Man and the Law" airs story about the exam-2014.
We cannot suspect Pimanov of "ordering", and it wasn't in the story. The plot has a different task - to show the whole of Russia those responsible for the USE-2014, or rather, in the long term - for its failure, because now it's a past episode, they are Anzor Muzaev and Anna Krechetova.
The baton has been passed!
A classic PR stunt is being performed before our very eyes: bully the deputy from United Russia, appoint "chief in the exam" a deputy who is not so experienced in the federal level apparatus struggle, and a girl from show business hired to represent the movement “For an Honest Unified State Examination”, we are waiting for them to be “devoured” by critics and supervisory authorities, and Sergei Kravtsov - as if nothing to do with. After all " RUssia morning”was a long time ago, and“ Man and the Law ”is recently. People's memory is short, and now Anzor Muzaev is the "chief in the Unified State Examination".
Victory has many parents, defeat is always an orphan
"Egeist" Sergey Kravtsov abandoned his offspring- epic in terms of the budget, violations and crippled destinies of the Unified State Exam-2014, and offered to “adopt” him to Anzor Muzaev. Anzor Akhmedovich, as a father of many children, a real man and a professional in education, cannot refuse and show cowardice, the main one is the main one. Hiding behind others is not Caucasian.
And we have no doubt that both public opinion, and the expert community, and the investigation will correctly identify the really guilty person both in the suicides of schoolchildren and in the dubious development of the billion-dollar USE budget. The public movement "Obrnadzor" continues to exercise public control over the organization and conduct of the USE-2014. Soon we will present our activists, readers and authorities with an expert assessment of the results of the state exam. Of course, we will also deliver one copy of the Report to Sergei Kravtsov.
Has the culprit been appointed for the failure of the USE-2014? was last modified: August 13th, 2014 by Movement Obrnadzor
