State Duma to Focus on Bill Against Unified State Exam
A bill to abrogate the mandatory requirement for taking the Unified State Exam at Russia’s schools has been submitted to the State Duma, the Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov announced in the air of Vesti FM.
The Unified State Exam (USE) should be voluntary at schools, according to Mironov.

Some 1.97 million took USE this year and results of that attempt of the youth were far from inspiring. Roughly a quarter of schoolchildren got bad marks in the math and literature, and satisfactory was the most common result in 2008. Of interest is that the better part of school leavers had good marks in English, French, Informatics and Social Science.

The norm whereby the USE marks are to be taken into account to enter a university or a college takes effect January 1, 2008.
