Today preliminary State Exam Results were announced. According to them, Russian students have failed the following exams: 4,1% - Russian Language 8,6% - Chemistry 12% - Foreign Languages. It was mentioned that minimal number of right answers enough for getting "3" was: 36 - Russian Language 32 - Chemistry 20 - Foreign Languages The highest result - 100 points - have got: 1437 Students - Russian Language 331 Students - Chemistry 13 - Foreign Languages.
Hmmm... It seems that Foreign Languages exam turned out to be a real FAIL.
Suppose not all the exams are obligatory. Sometimes pupils choose to pass English exam only because they want to try. If they succeed – all right, if not – “don’t worry, your mark doesn’t’ influence school certificate” or something of this kind.
the figures seem to be quite right. It's a fact that the majority of pupils do not know foreign languages at all. I uploaded a piece of news some time ago and according to some data the worst result was in...German))and then French, English, and then some other languages.
