On June 24, the best Vladimir graduates received the first serious awards in their lives. In the city palace of culture, they were awarded medals "For Special Achievement in Studying" by the head of the city, Sergei Sakharov, and the head of Vladimir's administration, Andrei Shokhin.

By the way, this year there was no division into "gold" and "silver" medals. The arithmetic mean of all grades for grades 10 and 11 was taken into account. If more than 4.5 points were scored, the graduate claimed a medal. And she, in turn, adds an additional 5 points to the sum of the results for the exam. This means that the medalist has more chances to enter the higher educational institution he dreams of! In total, 91 graduates of Vladimir became medalists at the end of the school in 2015. Last year there were more medalists - 121 people. There were no significant changes in the ranking of educational institutions. The leaders in terms of medals are schools No. 25, 23, 35, 3, as well as an industrial and commercial lyceum.

Komsomolskaya Pravda attended the medal ceremony and asked the graduates about their plans and goals.

Pavel Azarenkov, school number 15.

I won’t say that the fives were so easy to get, I had to discipline myself all the time in order to learn all, all subjects. My favorite subject is mathematics, so I plan to connect my life with this science. Now I will apply to Moscow universities. My mother and grandmother are proud of me and today they came to be happy for me and see firsthand how I am rewarded!

Alina Antonova, school number 15.

It is not difficult to get a medal and finish school with "five" if from the 1st grade you get used to always study well. My dad is strict, he made me learn all the lessons when I was sometimes lazy. I still remember how hurt I was when in the fourth grade I got a "4" for a quarter only because I showed my tongue to the teacher on an argument! After all, before that moment and after it, I did not have a single four in a quarter and for a year! I graduated from 9th and 10th grade as an external student, two at once in one year. In the future I want to become a teacher of Russian and literature because I love to read. Favorite books "Doctor Zhivago" and "Master and Margarita".

Ivan Shlykov, school number 3.

Studying was always easy for me and I can’t say that I tried very hard to get a medal. Somehow it just happened. I want to enter the military school of St. Petersburg. I will be a military engineer. Actually, I love history. But you don't always have to do what you love in life. My parents always gave me freedom of action, so I decided for myself that I would connect my life with the army.

Anastasia Luzina, school number 2.

For the 10th and 11th grades, I got all the "five" and earned myself a medal. I am glad about this, because it will add me points for entering the university! I will apply for an economist at our VlSU and Yaroslavl University. Of course, I would like to move to Yaroslavl more. I hope that it will be like that! My whole family came with me to celebrate the award of the medal: my mother, father, grandmother, grandfather and younger sister. Everyone is proud of me, it's very nice, because in order to finish school with "excellent" I had to do my homework until 3-4 in the morning!

Irina Snygina, school number 16.

A few years ago I set myself the goal of getting a “gold” medal! I want my parents to be proud of me. I plan to enter the Ryazan military school as a communications engineer. Mom and dad approve of my choice.

Problem

Solution

Hello,

By order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated September 18, 2013 No. 1074, the earlier issued order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated February 25, 2010 No. 140 “On approval of the Regulations on medals “For special achievements in teaching” was invalidated.

At present, in accordance with the provisions of Part 10 of Art. 34 of the Federal Law "On Education in the Russian Federation", persons who completed the development of educational programs of secondary general education, successfully passed the state final certification and having final grades of "excellent" in all academic subjects studied in accordance with the curriculum, the educational organization simultaneously with the issuance of the corresponding document on education awards the medal "For special achievements in learning".

As far as I understand, the procedure for awarding silver medals is not provided for by federal law.

However, in accordance with paragraph 26 of Part 1 of Art. 34 of the Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, the academic right of students to be rewarded for success in educational, physical culture, sports, public, scientific, scientific and technical, creative, experimental and innovative activities is realized through the establishment of such incentives at the level of educational organizations by the relevant local regulations . Such an encouragement can also be the awarding of a medal of an educational organization for success in learning.

In addition, various measures to encourage students can be provided at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation or municipalities, including within the framework of the implementation of Part 4 of Art. 77 of Federal Law No. 273-FZ, the right of state authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments to establish special monetary incentives for persons who have shown outstanding abilities, and other incentive measures for these persons.

Solution

Good afternoon!

From 2014, school graduates will no longer be awarded medals. In accordance with the Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation of September 18, 2013 No. 1074, instead of them, the Ministry of Education will issue a certificate with honors to graduates. Students of the 11th grade who have successfully passed the final exams and received the final fives in all subjects will be able to get it.

However, don't despair!!!

Federal government bodies in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation or local governments have the right to establish special bonuses and other types of incentives for distinguished graduates. This provision is spelled out in the law "On Education". And many regions have already announced that they intend to maintain the tradition of awarding gold and silver medals to school graduates, which has been abolished at the federal level.

Regional gold and silver medals for school graduates will be established in the Ulyanovsk region - you can read more about this on the official website of the Governor and Government of the ULYANOVSK REGION http://ulgov.ru/news/regional/24012014/32114/

All the best!


Do you have any questions? Ask, the answer will follow immediately!

More recently, graduating from school with a gold medal opened the door to any university for an applicant, giving him considerable benefits upon admission. Judge for yourself - the owner of the coveted award could enter any educational institution out of competition. The most prestigious universities readily opened their doors to gold and. But this also gave rise to rich ground for abuse, because it was very tempting to go to college without problems and exams. Now times have changed, benefits are a thing of the past, and the gold medalist will have to participate in entrance examinations on a common basis. Why do we need a gold medal now, what does it give? Although it does not exempt its owner from the need to take exams, it gives him a priority right to enter if several applicants score the same number of points. In addition, there are a considerable number of private universities, the management of which provides gold medalists with the right to become students without any entrance exams. Another incentive to finish school with a gold medal may be the fact that the city authorities very often reward graduates who have distinguished themselves in this way with cash payments or valuable gifts. And, of course, one should not forget that such an award becomes a worthy reward for especially diligent students.

Conditions for obtaining a gold medal at school

How to get a gold medal? A gold medal for graduation from school, or, more precisely, a medal "For special achievements in learning" is issued to those students in grades 11 (12) who have semi-annual, annual and final grades of "five" (in Ukraine, respectively, "ten", " eleven", "twelve") in all subjects included in the curriculum, and received the same marks on the state (final) certification. Students who are studying externally or who received excellent marks as a result of re-certification conducted in order to increase the score cannot receive a gold medal. The decision to award a gold medal is made by the pedagogical council of the general educational institution, agreed with the local education authority and approved by order of the school director.

Thus, to become the rightful owner of the coveted award, you need to make a lot of efforts. In fact, it is not at all easy to get only excellent grades in all subjects included in the school curriculum during two very difficult years of study (grades 10 and 11). But if the student is firmly convinced of his desire to become a gold medalist, his path to this award should begin with a conversation with the school principal. Having declared his intentions, the future medalist has every chance to receive additional support from the school administration in the form of the necessary teaching aids, literature, consultations with teachers outside of school hours. An additional advantage in determining a candidate for a medal will also be an active social life of a student: participation in olympiads, conferences, competitions and even KVNs.

As can be seen from the above, obtaining the highest school award is a very laborious task, requiring full dedication to the educational process for at least two years. Aspiration, no doubt, honorable, but not bringing significant benefits. That is why, it would be much more expedient not to chase after getting a medal, but to direct one’s forces towards decent preparation for passing the unified state exam and entering a university.

If a student from the first grade studied at "5" and "4", then it will not be difficult for him to get a silver medal at school. After all, the child even forms a peculiar habit of work. The desire to gain new knowledge in science appears in such children involuntarily. To get a silver medal, such students just need to add more perseverance and keep the "fours" to a minimum. After all, the number of “fours” for a silver medal is limited.

Many people ask: “In order to be awarded a silver medal, how many “fours” can I get in the last years of study?” For the last two (and in some schools three) years of study, a student who wants to get a silver medal should have no more than two "fours" in half a year and a year. It happens that some regional ministries of education say that in order to get a silver medal, a student must have a maximum of two "fours" in the last year of study, and for the 10th grade - one "five". It is not true. The child has the right to a silver medal, even if he has 1-2 "fours" but no more) for the 10th grade.

It is interesting that earlier in Russia the criteria for awarding a silver medal were not so strict. In the first half of the 10th grade, it was possible to have many "fours". And only from the second half of the year until the end of school, it was necessary to reduce their number in six months to one or two.

If the student was not even good during his studies in primary and secondary school, then in high school he will have to try and stock up on perseverance if he is determined to get a silver medal. Of course, without good mental abilities and with poor academic performance for all previous years of study, a student will not be able to deserve a silver medal.

If the mental abilities of the child are quite high, and the poor grades for the previous years of study are only the results of laziness, inattention and a frivolous attitude to learning, then it is quite possible that the student will be able to complete his studies at a secondary educational institution with particular success. The question arises: how to get a silver medal at school, what do such students need for this? In this case, you need to completely change your outlook on studying and devote most of your time to it, regularly do homework in all subjects without exception. After all, a silver medal is almost as difficult as a gold medal.

Few people know that in the USSR medals were awarded not only for excellent studies. The behavior of the student during the years of study at the institution was also taken into account. At that time, when awarding medals, grades in subjects that were not related to the mental abilities of schoolchildren were not taken into account. This, for example, music, physical culture, drawing.

Nowadays, obtaining a silver medal and a special certificate directly depends not only on the annual and semi-annual grades of a student for the last two years of study. The result of the Unified State Examination is of great importance. His results in the two main subjects of the contender for the medal must be satisfactory, that is, the graduate must necessarily pass the minimum threshold.

Studying has never interfered with anyone, and therefore it is worth striving to comprehend new heights in school disciplines. Getting a silver medal is always prestigious. This is an indicator of the student's knowledge and his reward for his work. Good luck in your studies!

The attitude to the silver medal at school in our time is very ambiguous.

What does a silver medal give?

Previously, Russian schoolchildren who received a silver medal at the end of school had the right to enter a university, including by passing a profiling exam for an excellent mark.

With the introduction of the USE, this privilege ceased to exist. Currently, the admission of Russian schoolchildren to universities is associated only with the number of points obtained in the unified state exam. The real help from a silver medal upon admission is only in the advantage of a student over another student without a medal with the same number of USE scores.

With the current state of affairs in Russian schools, receiving a medal does not give a student anything, except for the status of a medalist. But for the prestige of the school, teachers, the number of medalists released is still important. The school administration is always striving to increase the number of silver and gold medalists.

In connection with this situation, it was even supposed to cancel the presentation of gold and silver medals to schoolchildren, but after discussion it was decided that there should still be medalists in schools.

Things are a little different in Ukrainian schools. The silver medalist is awarded 200 additional points, which are so necessary for admission, which helped to increase the prestige of excellent studies, on the one hand, and the appearance of "fake" medalists, on the other.

The silver school graduate medal, like the gold medal, has been awarded for more than 50 years. Initially, the medals did indeed consist of real silver and real gold, but since 1954 alloys began to be used in the manufacture of medals, and after 1960 the name of the medals became purely symbolic. They are made mainly from an alloy of copper and nickel, and coated with a colorless varnish that prevents the metal from darkening. The medal is awarded for "Special Achievement in Teaching".

If you have set yourself the goal of getting a silver medal at school, then it would be nice to know under what conditions it is issued.

Conditions for obtaining a silver medal

How should schoolchildren applying for a silver medal study, how many fours can they have in their certificate?

Under the new rules, a silver medal can be received by any student of a Russian school who:

  • in grades 10 and 11 will have no more than two fours in each semester and at the end of each year;
  • and pass the exam not below the minimum threshold.

The conditions for obtaining a silver medal and the status of a medalist for Ukrainian schoolchildren are somewhat different.

To receive a silver medal, the school requirements are:

  • a student for the period of study in grades 10, 11 can have 8 points in no more than two subjects according to the results for the semester, for the year and according to the results of the state final certification;
  • all other marks should be 10-12 points.

The decision on whether a particular graduate will receive a medal or not is made at a joint meeting of the school council and the teachers' council. After approval by the local education authority, the decision is approved by the principal of the school.

Getting a silver medal at school, what needs to be done for this?

If you decide to seek a silver or gold medal, then:

Even if receiving a silver medal at school does not give the student any advantage in admission, it will give him the status of a student with extraordinary abilities (which can come in handy when). The name of the student will always adorn the list of medalists in the school annals.
