Vitebsk Oblast gearing up for Forum of Regions of Belarus and Russia
The first centralized exam was taken this Monday by graduates of schools, gymnasiums, lyceums, and cadet schools.
The examination marathon began with subjects chosen by students. In the Vitebsk region, the CE and CT were held simultaneously at four points. For example, at the Vitebsk State Technological University, where a total of over 2,400 applicants registered this year, said Ekaterina Goncharova, deputy chairman of the organizing committee.
— The largest flow is in subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, biology, and foreign languages, she explained. — In particular, about 240 people will take mathematics, as it is needed by many for admission.
An hour before the exam, classes accompanied by teachers were actively approaching the university buildings to present their documents without rushing and find the right аудитории. Although it is difficult to do without some excitement on such a day, almost all the students were charged with success.
— The mood is upbeat, I can handle it, I didn't prepare for a whole year for nothing, said Polina Semenova from Vitebsk Secondary School No. 31 named after V. Khoryzhaya. The girl took chemistry. She plans to enter the medical faculty of the medical university on a targeted training basis.
— I am taking mathematics, I am more or less confident in my abilities, shared Alexander Sochnev from the Vitebsk Cadet School. — I prepared, attended elective classes, and reviewed my notes. I am going to the exam with a clear head.
The cadet dreams of continuing his studies at the Ryazan Guards Higher Airborne Command School named after V. Margelov.
Vladimir Godyatsky, Chairman of the State Control Committee of the Vitebsk Region, who heads the regional commission for monitoring the preparation and conduct of the admission campaign, emphasized:
— Students should rely only on their knowledge and not bring any information devices into the аудитории. Our controllers work at every testing point, we inspected all the аудитории the day before, so we are ready to ensure a safe and fair examination for students and applicants.
Medics, law enforcement agencies, and control commissions are also ready for the CE and CT to proceed as planned, noted Vladimir Godyatsky.
— We are simultaneously conducting centralized testing and a centralized examination, but in separate streams, — he said. — There is an innovation this year: reserve days are provided for those who violate the rules and are removed. But these guys will then be able to take exams only for colleges.
The Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Control Committee admitted that he still remembers his final exams, although many years have passed since then:
— Of course, there were no such centralized events then, we took exams quite prosaically: we came to school, wrote an essay or drew tickets and answered. To be honest, I wasn't too worried — I studied well, so everything was quite easy for me. I took my exams at Secondary School No. 30 on Gagarin Street.
It doesn't matter what grades the current graduates get on the CE, because the most important exam is ahead: how life turns out, believes Vladimir Godyatsky.
— This is, of course, related to good study, but it is more important to be confident, set goals and achieve them, — he clarified.
