One of the progressive innovations in the Terms of the admission to the IHE in 2011 is the addition of the extra points for the winners of national study contests, participants of the international study contests, awardees of the all-Ukrainian contest of the Minor Academy of Sciences instead of giving the preference while drawing the rating list of the graduates.
Such way of rewarding is more reasonable and legal. During the previous years one could notice the “winners” with low points in the school certificate and EIE certificate in the list.
The graduates wanting to play fairly, should carefully examine the rating lists this year.
Not all the winners of the pupil’s contests have the right for the extra points. The latter are given only for the awardees of the IV (national) level of the State school contests for the basic subjects (total – 337 people) and the awardees of the III level of the State contests of the school researches in the Minor Academy of Sciences. This condition of the Terms of entrance excludes the winners of other school contests – the tournaments or the professional contests. For instance, the certificate of the State annual interactive contest “Leleka” doesn’t give any bonuses.
Nonetheless, the OPORA observers noticed the fact of giving the extra points to the winner of the young lawyers contest – and this is the violation of the rules, hence this contest is neither state contest nor the contest from the Minor Academy of Sciences.
Unfortunately, after the first appeal of the OPORA to the admission committee, the deputy of the secretary provided no explanations to the situation, referring to the unknown letter from the ministry and recommended to the observers to prepare the official request that will be answered by the IHE in 20 days. So, OPORA had to consult the Ministry and report about the mistakes in the rating lists. As it turned out later, the mistake was made by the technical supporter, who has already been punished, and will be fixed soon.
The CN “OPORA” appeals to all the graduates with the call to pay more attention to the rating lists and to reveal the abusers. It will provide the equal right for education to all the graduates. The OPORA observers proceed in lists analysis and will inform about the abusers.
Reference: According to the p. 12 in the Terms of Admission to the EIE in 2011, titled “The admission of the graduates with complete and secondary education who have outstanding achievements in the profile subjects” , “… the extra points are added to the total points in case of the graduation on the basis of the complete secondary education providing the graduates’ profile exam is on the subject they were awarded at.” , p. 12.3 “The total amount of the extra points is: for the awardees of the 1st degree diplomas – 50 pts, for the 2nd degree diplomas – 40 pts., for the 3rd degree diplomas – 30 pts.”
