More than 100 graduates of the Russian Schools Abroad in Uzbekistan took part in the state final examination
07 december 2022
This year, the Lyceum, a pilot project of the Russian Schools Abroad, began its work at the Tashkent branch. RSA is a strategic project of an innovative international educational model, which is being developed within the framework of the federal programme "Priority 2030". The Lyceum's networked educational partnership includes systematic preparation for the Russian state examinations. The exam period opens with a final essay on 7 December.
The management and pedagogical teams of the Gorchakov Lyceum of MGIMO play a key role in developing the organizational and pedagogical model of the RSA and scaling it up to the partner countries.
"The final essay is not just the start of the exam campaign. It is exactly the element in the structure of the GIA that allows you to discover and see the creative potential of a graduate", comments Ilya Demakov, director of the Gorchakov Lyceum that acts as a competence center for RSA projects.
Graduates were asked to reveal one of six topics and present a system of literary arguments. They describe a wide range of objects and phenomena with which a person is in dialogue throughout his or her life.
"The very process of preparing for the final essay was a real literary and anthropological study. The students showed emotional involvement and sincere interest in the lives and characters of the characters. Comprehension of the texts always went beyond the examination. In this way, the forthcoming tests were an impulse to explore the subject matter and to reflect on worldviews that might in the future influence a pupil's choices or perspective on what is happening in life.
It is indeed an honest and time-consuming process of preparation. Probably no other assignment can reveal a pupil's thoughts, feelings and emotions as much as an essay. And when reading the works it was very clearly demonstrated: how subtly our students think, react and feel", - says Alexandra Devina, teacher of Russian language and literature of Gorchakov lyceum.
Participants in the litrature test reflected on family and mutual understanding, the problem of generations, historical memory or the achievements of technological progress that can bring both comfort and danger to life.
A total of 103 students took part in the final essay test. The results will be available after central processing within two weeks. A positive result will mean admission to the main GIA period.
The educational model of the RSA, which is being developed in the MGIMO ecosystem, is focused on stable and high academic results, adaptability and a broad subject outlook.
Cross-functional teams of teachers shape new pedagogical practices and learning contexts that enable students to master and systematize knowledge, develop flexible skills to successfully solve a variety of learning and practical problems.
One of the priority objectives is preparation for the state final examinations.
The Tashkent Branch of MGIMO launched the first-ever State Examination in the academic year 2021-2022. Over 100 graduates of the dual diploma programme confidently passed the exams.
A total of 11 Russian exams in the GIA format were held at the branch site, including such technology-intensive procedures as the oral exam in a foreign language and KEGE, a fully automated computer science exam.
"A child's academic track is, first and foremost, about the content he or she explores, it is about shaping and deepening interest, learning, searching. Life is set up in such a way that this movement is impossible without a certain formalisation and ordering of the processes around us to achieve a greater mobility. This applies to the widest contexts.
The opening of the Russian state final examination point is an opportunity to confirm that the knowledge obtained abroad meets the Russian educational standards and to provide a varied range of learning and then professional development trajectories. It is institutionalisation that provides freedom of choice and confidence in one's own abilities," assesses this unique experience Roman Igorevich Kotov, Advisor to the Rector for Educational Programmes and General and Secondary Education.
