Do Russian schoolchildren know geography? 2027 may be declared as the year of geography in Russia due to the "highest importance of geographical science" and the fact that for our huge country geography is more than just an ordinary science. What about Russian school students with geography? As in other subjects, Rosoverandzor recently analyzed the results of the unified examination in geography from the point of view of its mastery by the graduates. Unfortunately, this is one of the most unpopular professions, where only 3% of graduates study - this year 22 thousand, although this figure has increased significantly over the past two years. The fact is that geography is neither a natural science nor a humanities subject. He seems to be alone, yet he is on the fringes of the school curriculum, and hardly anyone talks about him. In modern schools, very little attention is paid to geography. The profession starts from the 5th grade, that is. For seven years, but he is only assigned one lesson a week in grades 5-6 and two lessons in grades 7-9. And in high school - again, one class a week. This is only an introductory level, but not a full study. Hence the low results - on average only 54 points in the unified state exam. True, unlike that math, the scale for converting basic Israeli to final grades in geography is straight, meaning that on average, the graduates actually earned a little more than half the points. The problem is that half of the answers were always considered a two or at best a very weak three. But this is the result of graduates who deliberately prepared for geography! Moreover, many prepared with a teacher (according to surveys, more than 50%) or in online schools. What can be said about the 97% of graduates who did not take it. As many experts say, subjects for which the Unified State Exam is not required are not taught to students at all. As for the examinees, only in high school do the graduates usually try to catch up on the material. As the results showed, it almost didn't work. Here is an example.
