Deputies from A Just Russia party want to eliminate ninth grade OGE testing. Sergey Mironov and Yana Lantratova sent their idea to Education Minister Sergei Kravtsov. They propose bringing back traditional written and oral school examinations. The lawmakers believe this change would reduce student anxiety levels significantly. Teachers would become more accountable for student performance under the old system.

Mironov argues that regular tests measure actual learning better than multiple choice answers. Students currently guess their way through standardized questions rather than demonstrating knowledge. The OGE creates stress without helping students enter colleges or tenth grade. Exam preparation forces kids to memorize patterns instead of learning subjects deeply. Real education suffers when schools focus on test templates.

The Fair Russia party has fought against both OGE and USE exams for years. Party members consider these standardized tests completely ineffective for measuring student ability. The government could save money without running these expensive testing programs. Schools could return to methods that actually evaluate what students understand. Traditional examinations would better serve both students and the education system.
