Ninth grade graduates who did not pass the OGE or received unsatisfactory results can obtain a working profession for free.

Regions can independently create a list of professions for training, based on the real personnel needs of local enterprises.

This practice allows schoolchildren to develop practical competencies in parallel with preparation for retaking the exam.

MOSCOW, October 12 - RIA Novosti. Ninth-grade graduates who did not pass the OGE or received unsatisfactory results can obtain a working profession for free, the head of the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation, Sergei Kravtsov, told RIA Novosti.

“Children who did not pass the main state exam in the ninth grade, firstly, have the opportunity to retake the exams in September to receive a certificate, and the second opportunity is to actually get a blue-collar profession in order to work if necessary,” Kravtsov said.

He added that regions can support such training and create a list of professions themselves - according to the real personnel needs of local enterprises.

According to the minister, this practice expands opportunities for the development of practical competencies among schoolchildren in parallel with preparation for retaking the exam. Thus, graduates will acquire not only real skills, but also a chance of guaranteed employment.

Kravtsov noted that every year the number of schoolchildren who did not pass the Unified State Exam or Unified State Exam is decreasing, and the number of participants who scored high scores, on the contrary, is growing.
