Sochi bid farewell to its graduating class of ten thousand students.
In Sochi today, graduation ceremonies were held for both ninth- and eleventh-graders. According to the city's administration, 7,770 ninth-graders and 2,350 eleventh-graders are concluding their educational journey in the resort town.
Of the eleventh-grade graduates, 366 are contenders for the "For Special Achievements in Studies" medal, a longstanding tradition in Sochi. As part of the festivities, graduates wrote encouraging messages to their peers who are yet to finish school, inscribing them on homemade paper airplanes.
As the next step, all graduates are set to take their state final exams. Ninth-graders will sit for the OGE, while eleventh-graders will participate in mandatory EGE exams in mathematics and Russian language, in addition to optional university admission exams. In 2025, there will be an opportunity to retake up to two EGE exams on July 3 and 4, as previously announced by authorities.
Concurrently, 7,300 first-graders in Sochi also completed their initial academic year, with a total of 33,000 primary school students moving on to the next grade according to local authorities.
Without further details about the specific exam formats for 2022 in Sochi, readers can look to general standards for the OGE (Basic State Exam) for ninth-graders and the EGE (Unified State Exam) for eleventh-graders.
