      Regional News

      On June 1, the main period of the State Final Certification in the form of the Unified State Exam (USE) began in the Nizhny Novgorod region, as well as throughout Russia. Today, school graduates in the region took exams in three subjects – chemistry, history, and literature. More than 4,100 people participated.

      "The examination campaign is always a great responsibility for both the organizers and the graduates. Today, nearly 1,800 Nizhny Novgorod residents took the history exam, over 1,500 took chemistry, and more than 850 took literature. The ministry monitors the situation at the examination venues every hour: specialists report this to me personally. Today, the atmosphere at the exams was businesslike and calm. All participants know their functions thanks to the training events held throughout the academic year," said the Minister of Education of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Mikhail Puchkov.

      According to the ministry, on June 1, 52 examination points (EPs) were operational in the region, involving more than two thousand employees from the education system and public observers. A total of 89 examination points will operate during the main period of the USE in the Nizhny Novgorod region.

      "We pay great attention to safety during the exam and also ensure that all participants have equal conditions for taking the USE. The procedure is standard and does not differ from last year. The only innovation at our EP is that video recording with sound is conducted as children enter and pass through the metal detector, but this is an organizational aspect. There are no innovations in the procedure itself," shared the head of EP No. 0562, Alyona Zaitseva.

      The ministry also noted that this year there are more public observers at the USE. Most of them are representatives of the parent community in the region.

      "I have been a public observer for the fourth year now. Our main task is to ensure order. From my experience, I can say that everything goes smoothly: the children are confident, and they know the procedure well," said public observer Svetlana Rodionova from EP No. 0562.

      After all participants of the USE take their seats (at 09:50), they are given the first part of the instructions. At 10:00, the procedure for unsealing the control and measurement materials begins, followed by the second part of the instructions explaining how to fill out the forms.

      "I am taking literature today. I have been preparing for the exam for more than two years, and today I am practically not nervous because I remember everything. I am confident that I will do well in this subject," shared her emotions before the exam, graduate of Lyceum No. 8 named after Academician E.K. Fyodorov in Nizhny Novgorod, Yana Nikishina.

      "My chosen subject is history. I did not prepare specifically for this exam because I have been studying history my entire school life. If you love history, then you won’t need to prepare," expressed the opinion of graduate Grigory Kitaev from Lyceum No. 8 named after Academician E.K. Fyodorov in Nizhny Novgorod.

      Participants of the USE will be able to find out the results of their exams by contacting their school or through the website: https://checkege.rustest.ru/. Everyone who took the exams on June 1 will be able to find out the results no later than June 15.

      The next test will take place in the region on June 4. On that day, Nizhny Novgorod residents will take the USE in the Russian language.

      Let us remind you that the development of the education system in the Nizhny Novgorod region, including for the successful preparation of children for exams, is carried out in accordance with the national project "Youth and Children."

      The national project is being implemented on the instructions of the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, and includes nine federal projects and programs: "Russia – a Land of Opportunities," "We Are Together," "Russia in the World," "All the Best for Children," "Leading Schools," "Teachers and Mentors," "Creating a Network of Modern Campuses," "Universities for the Generation of Leaders," and "Professionalism."
