A senator from Crimea, Sergey Tsekov, has proposed prolonging the norms which allow graduates of Crimean and Sevastopol schools to choose the form of the final examination – in the form of the unified state exam or any other exam. A corresponding bill was introduced to the State Duma on Friday.
The certification of students in the two new regions of Russia, according to current legislation, suggests that it is "carried out in 2014 and 2015, by choice of the students in the form of the unified state exam, as well as in any other forms," which are established by the Ministry of Education.
Tsekov, as follows from explanatory notes to the bill, placed in the Duma electronic database proposals to prolong the transitional conditions in the area of education for Crimea and Sevastopol to 2016 inclusive
