There is no need to make the situation worse at the entrance," - an expert on raising the passing Israelis in the unified state exam at universities. The Federation Council has again proposed to increase the minimum Israelis for the unified state exams for admission to universities in Russia. The senators recommended to Rosebrandzor to act on the issue for public and private educational institutions. According to the results of this year's admissions campaign, about 6,000 budgetary places remain unfilled at universities. The biggest shortage was recorded in teaching. First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Science and Higher Education, Oleg Smolin, opposes increasing the requirements for unified state exam results. As an example, he cites the university created by the Ural Mining and Metallurgical Company. This also includes applicants with low grades, from whom they are trained as engineers for the venture. The tightening of requirements may leave a company without specialists. "Therefore, the 'do no harm' principle should be used in educational policy as well as in medicine." The deputy proposes to evaluate the quality of education mainly by hiring graduates, and to use the results of the unified state test as an auxiliary measure only. In addition, current funding rules do not allow universities to fire more than 10% of state employees without consequences. This makes it difficult to objectively assess students' knowledge, Smolin says. "My position is that there is no need to make the situation worse at the entrance, but at the exit - yes, we have to be quite demanding."
