Vice-Speaker of the State Duma Chernyshov: for me the main thesis about improving the Unified State Exam became

“First of all, the main thesis for me was President Vladimir Putin’s statement about improving the Unified State Exam, about the possibility of retaking one of the subjects of the student’s choice before the end of the admissions campaign at universities.

Now parents and schoolchildren will be able to take exams more easily, not be afraid for the fate of their children, and children will experience less stress,” Chernyshov noted.

In addition, according to him, it is important that kindergartens and schools will be renovated.

“The conditions and the environment itself in which children grow up and learn affect both perception and knowledge acquisition.

If a school or kindergarten is equipped with all the necessary devices, has comfortable classrooms, and its own infrastructure, you want to return to it again and again,” said RT’s interlocutor.

Speaking about higher education, he emphasized that “we are confidently moving along the path of achieving a sovereign Russian education.”

“Therefore, the president correctly noted that it is important for us to increase the potential and quality of the entire higher education system and support universities that are striving for development.

Today we are still at the beginning of our journey, but I am sure that each of our universities strives for the development of the country.

For the country itself, the state, the population, it is the quality of education received that is important; it is important for us to understand who will work in enterprises, factories, who will develop the country,” explained the vice speaker of the State Duma.

In this regard, it was proposed to extend the Priority 2030 program for another 6 years and increase funding, he noted.

“This is all being done for universities, both leading and new ones, starting their development, as well as for graduating future labor market specialists,” he concluded.

Earlier, First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Education Yana Lantratova, in a conversation with RT, expressed the hope that graduates will be able to retake the Unified State Exam this year.
