Ministry of Education Tightens Admission Rules for Olympic Privileges
The Ministry of Education and Science, led by Valery Falkov, announced plans to strengthen controls over university admissions, particularly regarding academic competition privileges. The number of such competitions will be reduced from 83 to 60, and only winners will be able to enter without exams, while prize-winners will receive 100 points on the relevant Unified State Exam. These changes aim to address situations where all budget places on a specialty are occupied by olympiad winners.3 sourcesSee all sources
