Education Minister Puchkov criticized the inspections of students during the trial Unified State Exam (USE).

Education Minister Puchkov criticized the inspections of students during the trial Unified State Exam (USE).

      In Nizhny Novgorod, trial exams for the Unified State Exam (USE) took place—training tests before the main exam. Schoolchildren complained that during the inspection, they were required to remove and hand over their belts. The situation was commented on by the Minister of Education of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Mikhail Puchkov, on social media.

      Nizhny Novgorod schoolchildren told the head of the Safe Internet League, Ekaterina Mizulina, about their unpleasant experience during the inspection at the trial USE. They were asked to remove belts with metal buckles and hand them over. In some schools, cufflinks on jackets and metal badges were also not allowed during the inspection. Minister of Education Mikhail Puchkov emphasized that belts are not included in the list of prohibited items for the USE, according to the recommendations of Rosobrnadzor. Therefore, the requirement to remove the belt is unlawful.

      Puchkov shared that as part of the "Taking the Exam Together. USE Together with Parents" campaign, a full inspection was also conducted. The metal detector reacted to the lock on his shoes, but he did not have to remove his footwear. "To keep your belt or shoes on during the exam, do you need to be a minister?! Any situation can be taken to the absurd," the minister expressed his outrage.

      In the Nizhny Novgorod schools where the teenagers complained, additional instructions on conducting inspections will be provided. Despite this, Puchkov recommended not to come to the exam with a large number of badges or in a leather jacket with studs to avoid unpleasant situations. The minister added that some schoolchildren still try to bypass the system and cheat. For example, last year, a young man brought a phone to the exam but told the staff that the metal detector was triggered by his belt buckle. He was caught violating the rules in the classroom.

      Earlier, the website pravda-nn.ru clarified the nuances of retaking the USE in 2026.
