Appendix N 1

In order for the exams to be fair, this year, video surveillance works only in online mode at all Belgorod sites and in the regional information processing center (previously, records from some sites were not broadcast in real time). At each point, mobile communications are suppressed. These and other subtleties should be watched by public observers.

I began to remember what I knew about the final certification of schoolchildren. It turned out that a little. I myself took the exam only in Russian and mathematics. This was the year when the new format was just introduced as an experiment. And an observer without special knowledge, in fact, is useless. The solution was found: distance learning on the website egebook.ru helped fill in the gaps. The course started at the end of March and lasted until the end of May.

The program offered me a preliminary test, which I did not fail to do, hoping that perhaps I would not have to study. But I was too arrogant. The computer generated questions like, "What form is used when filing appeals?" - with answer options "PPE-02", "2-AP", "1-AP", "PPE 18-MASH"and "PPE-03"... Or he offered to choose from federal laws, orders of the Ministry of Education and Science and government decrees a document that regulates the work of the information system for the GIA.

I failed to pass the test with the required number of points, so I had to study the materials designed for five academic hours. After that, I passed the final test the first time and they sent me a certificate by e-mail that I had successfully completed the training.

No relatives

With a sense of accomplishment, I went to the Belgorod regional center for assessing the quality of education on Kutuzova, 19which accredits public observers. They greeted me very politely and first of all asked what organization I belong to and not a student? I replied that I had expressed a desire on my own. The faces of the workers at the center showed slight surprise. Apparently, few such volunteers come to them.

“Observers at the Unified State Exam are often members of public organizations and representatives of political parties who strive to be active, especially during the pre-election campaigns. Also, the regions often attract students to this, - explained "BelPress" Executive Secretary of the Commission for the Development of Science and Education of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Yuri Syedin... “In general, there are no statistics on the spheres of the main activity of public observers.”

In my application for accreditation, I was still asked, in addition to my full name, passport details and telephone number, to indicate the organization I represent. I wrote " a housewife”So that they don't treat me as a media representative in a special way. They also warned about the restriction: the mother or other relatives of the student passing the final certification cannot be present at the exam, since they have a personal interest. When a person submits an application, family ties are subsequently checked. I have no relatives in 11th graders, so there were no problems with this.

The employee who accepted the application also suggested that I enter my e-mail address there so that I would not have to go to the center a second time and pick up the public observer certificate in person.

Nobody asked me for a certificate of completion of training. True, a distance course is not required. 101 people from the Belgorod region have registered on the training site this year, while more than 600 observers, which is almost twice as much as in 2015.

Three working days later, they called me back and said that the certificate was ready. They just didn't want to send it by e-mail. I had to go to Kutuzov to pick up the document.

Student Observers

I chose the first compulsory subject this year - russian language... It took more than 43 points in the region's exam 7 thousand people... Another 4.5 thousand people provided the USE. These include public observers.

Armed with a notebook, pen, ID and passport, on May 30 I went to school in Mayskoye, where children from several settlements of the Belgorod region were to sit at their desks. At the entrance, my data was recorded in a journal, after which we were escorted with other observers to the office, where we left our things. Then I went to the auditorium, already filled with controllers. There were at least 20 of them, among whom there were several young people in blue T-shirts with the inscription “Corps of Public Observers”.

“We work with students of higher educational institutions, - explained the coordinator of the regional building Anatoly Zaitsev... - Since December, an information campaign has been launched in universities, after which any student can express a desire to conduct public control of the Unified State Exam by filling out a special questionnaire. After that, the guys attend a training seminar and are tested. Those who scored the required number of points as a result become public observers. This year there are 33 of them. They control 23 schools in the region. Also in the region there are about 50 more students - public observers from the Kursk region. "

There is nothing to complain about

Observers were given a special form, which they fill out during the exam, noting violations.

“Nine auditoriums on two floors are involved in the exam, and our headquarters is on the third floor, where you can ask your questions. You can leave at any time by putting a mark on the end of the observation ", - said the head of the exam point Svetlana Kozlova.

Then it turned out that not everyone got seats in the classrooms - one observer was assigned to each.

“The rest are not allowed to enter the audience. You will prevent the children from taking the exam, and then they can appeal on this matter, "- explained the member of the examination committee Olga Kireeva.

I didn't get a specific office, and I went to keep order at the entrance to the examination center, where the children just started to enter. Most of them didn’t look scared at all — the kids were joking and laughing, and some of their faces were irritated only when they started checking eleventh graders with handheld metal detectors. Only one young man from time to time folded his hands in a prayer gesture and repeated: "Oh-oh-oh-oh!"

Photo by Vadim Zablotsky

They did not find anything forbidden among schoolchildren... The question was prompted by a can of medicine found in one of them, but nevertheless the guy was allowed to pass. In another, a metal detector reacted to chewing gum in a foil package, and in two young smokers, packs of cigarettes were found in their pockets.

The children dispersed to the classrooms, and I went to check the points in the paper given to me with reality: for example, is there a telephone connection and a safe for storing examination materials at the headquarters, is there a room for medical workers, are the stands with background information on the subject being handed over closed. Among others, there was a clause that the premises that were not used in the conduct of the exam should be closed and sealed. I went to the floor where the exam did not pass at all, but even there everything was sealed.

There was nothing to complain about on a single point. I still quietly wandered through the corridors, peering into the open doors of the classrooms, in which children with a concentrated look were solving exam tasks. Not finding any violations there, I left with a feeling of satisfaction.

Those who still want to try themselves as a public observer this year still have time. Children will take the last exam in chemistry and physics only June 20... After that, from the 22nd to the 30th, reserve days will come when the exams are taken by those who could not do it earlier for valid reasons, for example, due to illness or because of the coincidence of exams in different subjects on the same day.

Although the online training is over, you can read the content yourself on the website. And you can be accredited as public observers no later than three working days before the exam.

Anna Bessonova

On May 29, for graduates of schools in Russia, as well as their parents, a hot time began - passing the Unified State Exam. Our correspondent went to see the exam through the eyes of a public observer.

We begin to "observe"

When in gymnasium # 87, where my children study, I was offered to become a public observer of the USE, I gladly agreed. The next year is for my son, and my anxiety about the upcoming exams has gradually started to turn into a stage of panic. Therefore, participation in the exam seemed to me a great opportunity to find out everything myself and how to prepare for the upcoming tests.

So on a sunny May morning, I went to "observe".

The location of the exam was easily identified by the congregation of young people in white shirts. They passed computer science, so the stronger sex prevailed among the examinees. The atmosphere was moderately agitated.

One young man, in order to defuse the tension, threw a cry: "And I have the answers!" The children reacted sluggishly to a joke: cheating is more expensive for themselves, the schoolchildren have learned this firmly, besides, it is easy to retake, which is already a year later, thundering (looking ahead, I will say that the possibility of cheating on the exam is absolutely excluded). And even about the danger of ready-made answers, which Internet scammers offer us with obsessive servility, every day, starting from the 9th grade, teachers tell us: who knows if these answers are correct? And do they answer those questions? ..

At 9.00 the children and their accompanying adults lined up on a line. The school took out the lists of test takers distributed by audiences, and the formation of groups began.

Perhaps the children were sensible (they still hand over computer science) - but the formation was clear, like in the army. Children lined up in a column one at a time - in their left hand an unfolded passport without a cover, in their right hand a gel pen and a bottle of water (the chocolate taken from the house had already been eaten) - and, with the organizer's kind words, entered the school. In my case - in PPE 0813.

The world of acronyms

"To pass the GIA in the form of the Unified State Examination, IDPs enter the PPE with a representative of the GEC and receive KIMs ..."

The first thing that "scratches" the eye and cuts the observer's ear is the abundance of abbreviations. One can argue for a long time about why abbreviations have taken root in Russian schools, but an average person who is inexperienced in the intricacies of passing the exam cannot do without an interpreter. So, the most common abbreviations are: ГИА - state final certification. It is conducted in the form of a compulsory state examination (OGE) for ninth graders and a unified state exam (USE) for school leavers and graduates of previous years (IDPs). There is a form of GVE - the state final exam, it is conducted for graduates with disabilities. The rest is simple: PPE - examination point, KIMs - control and measuring materials (which from this year are printed on some PPEs right before the exam), GEC - the state examination commission.

The most stressful minutes are the last five before the opening of the CMMs. It took exactly one minute to distribute the materials (hours in the classroom are a prerequisite for the exam). For the next eighteen minutes, the GEC member read the briefing - in the voice of the announcer at the airport, excluding the possibility of misinterpretation. At 10.19 the exam began.

Exactly 3 hours 55 minutes later, all the works will go to the Headquarters of the PPE, where, after scanning, they will be sent for processing to the RCOI (regional information processing center). On the website of which, by the way, you can find out the preliminary results of the exam.

Without communication with the outside world

It's easier to escape from prison than to write off the exam, ”one of the organizers of the exam exclaimed in a whisper. And indeed: if someone is pinning their hopes on cribs, let them leave silly hopes at the threshold of the PES. It is impossible to write off: all the vests-jackets of the examinees are left at the entrance, the phone and smart watches-gadgets are handed over to the attendant. Any unauthorized piece of paper under the sight of video cameras will be regarded as a cheat sheet, and the offender will mercilessly go to retake the next year. All premises in the school are sealed. It's funny, but a piece of paper with a seal and signature is even glued to the toilet tank, where the children go with their guide.

At the Unified State Exam, security measures are taken unprecedented: in the morning all the PES for explosives are sniffed by the kindest creature - the Alfa Shepherd Dog, the examinees are (very delicately) checked with a metal detector.

There are jammers in the school building, so the phone is useless. Communication is only at the headquarters of the PPE, where all the audiences can be seen on large monitors. The victim of information security was my journalistic notebook, which I had to leave in the room for personal belongings of public observers and media representatives. To my objections that, they say, "a journalist is supposed to", they answered me: once it is necessary, we will open an office, you will write down what you need, and we will wait. So I had to write the report from memory ...
