Current reports indicate there are no ongoing plans to modify how students are admitted to 10th grade or to universities within Russia. Statements from Rosobrnadzor representatives, conveyed through TASS, reflect this stance.
During an all-Russian gathering with parents of schoolchildren, department head Anzor Muzaev clarified that the present models for advancing from 9th to 10th grade and the procedures for university admissions do not align with what is needed today. The emphasis was on explaining how the existing framework functions and where it appears to fall short in meeting contemporary educational demands.
In a follow-up, the ministry reiterated that these remarks represent the private opinion of Rosobrnadzor’s leader and that no formal changes have been implemented at this time. The official line from Rosobrnadzor was clear: no steps have been taken in this direction yet.
There is also mention of a proposed revision to the school rating system, discussed by the director of a Moscow school, Anna Belova. The new scheme would likely range from zero to two, with two equating to a top grade and one reflecting good or satisfactory performance, while zero would indicate no points.
Historically, life safety has been a priority in Russian schools, underscoring decisions that shape how safety and defense training integrate with broader schooling. The focus on defense of the motherland remains a part of policy conversations, as officials consider how to balance academic outcomes with civic preparedness and student wellbeing.
Experts note that any potential reforms would require careful alignment with national educational standards, resource availability, and regional differences across the federation. Stakeholders, including teachers, administrators, and families, continue to monitor developments for signals about timing and implementation. (citation: TASS, Rosobrnadzor statements).
