6. Peculiarities of consideration of appeals of GIA participants with disabilities

To consider appeals from State Examination Participants with disabilities, disabled children and people with disabilities, the Committee engages in its work typhological interpreters (to consider appeals from blind State Examination Participants) and sign language interpreters (to consider appeals from deaf State Examination Participants).

Along with a State Examination participant with disabilities, a disabled child, or a disabled person, an assistant may be present at the consideration of his appeal in addition to his parents (legal representatives).

If the CC discovers an error in transferring the answers of blind or visually impaired State Examination participants onto the State Examination forms, the conflict commission takes these errors into account as a technical defect. The examination papers of such State Examination Participants undergo re-processing (including transfer to standard size State Examination forms) and, if necessary, re-checking by experts.

According to Ivan Vishnevetsky, director of this very respectable institution (founded back in 1882), there are no problems with financing and material support today, all standards have been met, all requirements and wishes have been taken into account. The transfer of correctional schools from the jurisdiction of the Department of Education to the wing of the Department of Social Protection worked to the benefit of everyone; perhaps this experience should be extended to other regions.

As for preparing children with profound visual impairments to take the state exam, there are a number of features, some of which have already been taken into account at the level of ministries and departments, but some issues have still not been resolved.

For example, if an English language exam in standard classes lasts no more than 15 minutes, then for blind and visually impaired children its duration is increased to 1.5 hours, and each child being examined is assigned an assistant who performs all the technical work for him. Tasks and instructions are printed in text form in Braille. The developers of CIMs tried to come up with questions that would be most understandable to children who are blind. For example, they should not contain descriptions of color characteristics, shapes of objects that are accessible only visually. Nevertheless, according to teachers, there are still cases when children at the final test get a presentation that uses texts by Prishvin or Paustovsky (and these authors, as you know, were very fond of describing the beauties of nature).

There are certain difficulties with the creation of educational materials in certain subjects, for example, geography. After all, in addition to texts, there is a lot of graphic information - maps, diagrams, tables. According to experts, it is worth thinking about replacing some of this information with texts, but this is not always possible.

There is also a clear misunderstanding regarding what a visually impaired student does during the exam and what he has every right to refuse. Thus, in some regions, visually impaired people were required to sign an examination paper, but this caused them certain difficulties, since under normal conditions teachers would help them (showing them exactly where to sign), but here, as you know, teachers are strictly forbidden to approach children. But upon closer examination of the situation, it turned out that the requirements for children to put signatures anywhere on documents are generally inappropriate, because the signature itself may well be considered his full name, which he enters into the form at the very beginning of work.

As for video surveillance at the Unified State Exam in correctional schools, it must be organized in accordance with uniform requirements. However, in this particular case, it is carried out offline, that is, the picture from the exam site is not displayed on the general screen. This is also important to know and remember.

“We have long criticized the Unified State Exam for the fact that its main emphasis was on tests and children were only asked to choose ready-made answers,” says Oleg Smolin. – Fortunately, our criticism achieved its goal, and now the state exam tasks require a much more creative approach to their implementation. But we still have a lot of work to do to teach children to speak, to help them develop oral speech, including literary reading, including in the exam. It would be nice to include in the literature exam such a task as reading by heart the poems of a particular poet.

The deputy himself, who, by the way, graduated from a similar educational institution, is grateful to his teachers for the fact that they taught him a lot, thanks to which he can still quote entire chapters of works and remembers a huge number of lyrical works by various authors.

The director of the Federal Institute of Pedagogical Measurements, Oksana Reshetnikova, also expressed a principled position.

To develop CIMs, we invite not only specialists in the field of certain sciences, but also teachers working in schools for children with disabilities,” she said. – There are many blind people among them, so they can evaluate how accessible the questions and tasks are for children with visual impairments. However, we believed and still believe that CIMs for this category of citizens should in no case be simpler or easier than for other, ordinary people. There should be no concessions or reduction in the level of requirements, you just need to determine other requirements based on the characteristics of people with disabilities! And in general, as the teachers of correctional schools themselves say, “our children must be one step ahead and head and shoulders above their peers from regular schools, only this will allow them to be competitive in our harsh world.”

For the first time in recent years, we decided to approach the leadership of the Ministry of Health with a proposal to organize points for taking the Unified State Exam in large hospitals and treatment centers in order to enable children undergoing treatment to realize their right to receive an education,” said Sergei Kravtsov. – The state does not intend to change its previously assumed commitments and is ready to do everything to provide accessible education for all categories of children, including students in specialized correctional schools. And even if the child is home-schooled, local educational authorities are required to organize a mobile exam point for him, that is, come to him and take the exam right at his home.

According to the head of the Federal Service for Supervision of Education and Science, his agency will ensure that schools for children with profound visual impairments are equipped with technology, Braille typewriters, educational literature and teaching materials.

To demonstrate the readiness of boarding school students No. 1 for the Unified State Exam, a trial exam in English was organized, which was successfully passed by 12th grade student Nguyen Vu Quang. Those present (and among them were not only officials, but also students, teachers and parents) were clearly demonstrated the procedure of this test from beginning to end, from which they concluded that there was nothing wrong with it.

In conclusion, the boarding school students gave a concert for the guests, showing the best amateur performances.
