The capital’s education system is fully prepared to conduct the Unified State Exam (EGE) and the Basic State Exam (OGE). This was announced by the Mayor of Moscow, Sergey Sobyanin, on Saturday, May 16th.
According to the mayor, over 93,000 individuals will be taking the EGE this year, and nearly 130,000 schoolchildren will participate in the OGE. Mathematics, social studies, English language, and computer science remain the most popular subjects among graduates.
Sobyanin also highlighted that more than 47,000 ninth-graders have opted for a simplified college admission process, requiring two exams instead of four. Furthermore, arrangements are being made for students with disabilities to take their exams at home, taking into account their individual needs.
“Special attention has been given to preparing graduates for the EGE. Since February, special practical workshops have been held in schools, occupying up to 40 percent of the study time. These classes are led by teachers whose students consistently achieve high results in their final assessments and successfully gain admission to universities,” the head of the city wrote on MAX.
