The classical free state EVENING SCHOOL will help you get the missing education starting from the 6th grade. You yourself will choose a convenient training schedule for yourself: full-time, part-time or correspondence form getting an education.
The main task of the school:
ensuring equal opportunities for the exercise of the constitutional right to receive education to all citizens of Russia, in accordance with their interests and inclinations, regardless of material wealth, place of residence, regardless of educational, national, age qualifications and physical ailments. The school implements this task on the basis of versatility, versatility, flexibility of forms and mode of operation. The school should become a guarantor of the accessibility and genuine democracy of education for EVERYONE, but especially for those who, for various reasons, cannot study in a regular school, provide an opportunity to study for everyone of any age, both working and not working, in a convenient form and in convenient time. The school must, by means of education, promote social protection and psychological and pedagogical rehabilitation of school students. The school should become an effective Center for the socialization of the personality of students.
Fundamentals of the school::
- recognition of the right to education at any age as one of the most important fundamental human rights;
- orientation of education to human values and ideals of humanism;
- promoting the harmonization of the interests of the individual students and society as a whole;
- ensuring the availability of quality education and enlightenment for every citizen;
- taking into account the specifics of the educational needs of various categories of evening school students
formation of an integral system of universal knowledge, skills, as well as the experience of independent activity and personal responsibility of students, that is, key competencies that determine the modern quality of the content of education.
Education as a paramount priority in education is an organic component of pedagogical activity, integrated into the overall process of learning and development.
The most important tasks of education are the formation of schoolchildren's civic responsibility and legal self-awareness, spirituality and culture, initiative, independence, tolerance, the ability to successfully socialize in society and actively adapt to the labor market.
Who are the students of the school today:
- Desire to finish high school quickly (teenagers still choose an external form of education)
- Conflicts with students or teachers at the school where they studied before
Difficult financial situation in the family, forcing a teenager to either go to work and combine work with study in the evening, or in parallel with secondary education in an evening school to receive vocational education
The so-called "difficult" teenagers who, either because of their deviant behavior or because they are lagging behind in their studies, are trying to get rid of mass day schools.
Adult students who have a long break in their studies, work, and therefore are forced to receive education in the evening. This category of students includes people who have graduated from the 9th grade of secondary school, who are working and have realized that without a complete secondary education, further career growth is impossible. This category also includes housewives caring for children, as well as pregnant women.
Military personnel undergoing urgent military service in the Dzerzhinsky Division, as well as conscripts and contract soldiers transferred to the reserve, incl. and from hot spots. The motivation of these students is very different, from obtaining knowledge and continuing education in universities to simply obtaining a certificate of education.
Young people who graduated from vocational schools without a secondary education, as well as expelled from colleges and schools for various reasons. The school has an agreement with colleges of SPO "College of Automation and Radioelectronics" No. 27 and GOU SPO Technological College No. 28 on the transfer of students expelled from there directly to our school.
Migrants and emigrants receiving education within the framework of the Moscow government's "School of the Russian Language" program. Under this program, official migrants and emigrants arriving in the country receive an intensive Russian language course for 1 academic year for the possibility of further education in state educational institutions. After graduating from the School of the Russian Language, they become students of the ethno-cultural class of our school. Refugees from Afghanistan are currently studying in the ethno-cultural class of the school.
Adolescents who, for various reasons, are not able to continue their education in a public school. Among the reasons for the impossibility to continue education in a public school, the following prevail:
People with physical disabilities, disabled people, including military personnel undergoing treatment after injuries received in hot spots, at the Burdenko Hospital
Persons under investigation in pre-trial detention center SIZO No. 6. These are girls and young women who are highly motivated to study, because bitterly aware of the mistakes they had made. It is school classes, regular and serious, that help them not to lose themselves as a person.
Not every person managed to get at least a general education on time. There is no need to think that night school students are losers or narrow-minded people. Anything could happen in their lives - some in their youth did not understand how important education was in time and messed around in the classroom, someone got married early, sometimes already in childhood someone was forced to work.
Features of evening schools
The evening general education school teaches in the evening. Hence the name. You can get an education there for free if you do not need an intensive shortened course of study. Then the price of education is assigned under an agreement drawn up by the school administration. Thanks to the schedule of classes, you can combine study with work or with other studies, as well as acquire a profession in parallel.
Anyone who is already 15 years old can become a student of this school. Graduates of evening schools are given certificates the same as issued in ordinary schools. Classes are not held every day. Because of this, the regular high school program (10-11) is taught in evening schools for 3 years.
What does the evening school provide?
In the evening school, a student can get a general secondary education if he is serious and has good self-control. After the entry into force in 2014 of the new Law on Education, night schools teach according to the general standards that exist in ordinary day schools. To graduate, all students must pass the exam (unified State exam).
Admission process for night school
To enroll in an evening school, you need documents:
- the passport;
- parental consent (under 18 years of age);
- certificate of basic education;
- Photo;
- medical policy;
- statement.
Sometimes schools have additional requirements, such as requiring medical certificate about the state of health.
If you lost your certificate, but could not restore it, you will be given an interview or an entrance test, based on the results of which you will be enrolled.
Among the students of evening schools there are adult working people, young mothers with many children, people who have arrived from other countries and wish to receive an education according to Russian standards. Mature people who have realized the value of education, with difficulty finding time for study, sometimes amaze teachers with a craving for knowledge, a serious approach and learning results.
Like any educational institution Night school has its pros and cons.
Pros:
- Classes are not held every day. Lessons go several times a week. At the same time, the load per lesson is less than in a regular general education school;
- it's free. According to Article 43 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, everyone has the right to receive a basic general education, and therefore no one will demand money for studying at an evening school;
- can be combined with work. Classes usually start at 17:00. Therefore, after work, it is quite possible to have time for lessons.
Minuses:
- classes with students different ages. Both young and old people can study in the class. Therefore, the pace of material presentation by the teacher can be both very fast and very slow, you will have to adapt to your classmates;
- schematic presentation of the material. Due to the fact that the programs follow an accelerated course, it is not always possible for a teacher to focus on a particular topic for a long time;
- it's not obligatory. Most often, evening schools are attended by adults who have lived enough time without any education and are used to it. So those who have problems with self-discipline will find it difficult to force themselves to attend classes regularly.
As we said above, at the end of the evening school, the student is given a certificate of complete secondary education if he has completed 11 classes, or a certificate of incomplete secondary education if a 9-year course of study is completed. The certificate is a state document and is no different from what is issued in a day school. Therefore, after the "evening" you can continue your studies in any institution.
You can get a profession after 9 classes at a college, technical school or college. For this, it is imperative that the results of the OGE (the main state exam) are not negative. The applicant will need to provide the admission committee with a copy of the passport, a certificate of incomplete secondary education, a certificate with the results of the OGE, an insurance policy, a medical certificate and 3 × 4 photographs. It is also necessary to write an application for admission to this educational institution. As a rule, admission to the budget is based on the results of the OGE and grades for school exams in the certificate. Some specialties require passing an additional internal exam already at the educational institution itself. The grade received for it is also taken into account when an applicant is admitted to the Suz.
After 11 classes, a graduate of an evening school can enter any higher educational institution. To do this, it is necessary to pass the Unified State Examination (USE) in subjects that are mandatory for the chosen profession, Russian language and mathematics. On the websites of universities there is always a list of subjects required for admission. IN admission committee you need to bring a certificate of complete secondary education, a certificate with USE results, a copy of the passport, 6 photographs and an application for admission.
Therefore, do not be afraid and worry that the end of the evening school will somehow affect the continuation of education. Graduates of these schools have all the same rights as day school students.
No matter how difficult life is, self-confidence and hard work will help in your studies, give you a chance to make your working career successful.
The topic of evening schools is rarely raised in the press. Until now, there is an opinion that this form of education is for losers and losers. Nevertheless, several thousand citizens of Russia annually receive secondary education in such educational institutions.
It was in the evening: the pros and cons of evening school
Life has developed in such a way that I did not receive a full secondary education on time. The need to continue education in secondary, and then in high school emerged recently. Of course, I have heard about evening schools, but I have never been specifically interested in this form of education. Therefore, all the information had to be collected from scratch.
My work is built on constant traveling, I don’t sit in one place. Therefore, it was very important to find a school located close to home, so as not to waste time and energy on the road.
First of all, I called the district department of the department of education of my district, got the addresses and phone numbers of nearby schools. I outlined for myself the main selection criteria.
+ evening schools
- the opportunity to study not every day;
- free education;
- a schedule that is convenient for combining with other studies or work;
- variety of forms of education
- different age classes;
- schematic presentation of the material on some forms of education;
- not suitable for people who have poor self-control
Firstly, I am the only breadwinner in the family, there is no "extra" money. Education shouldn't cost too much. Secondly, I was interested in education, in which one would have to do a minimum of homework - there is very little free time. Thirdly, the number of classes per week and the time they start is important. They are ready to leave work early, but not every day.
After weighing his desires and opportunities, he began to call educational institutions.
Year in two: accelerated graduation
First of all, I turned to a school that offered external studies. Accelerated part-time education is in every second "evening". Graduates of the ninth grade can complete the last two years of school in one. At first glance, this is very convenient for "adult" schoolchildren: you do not have to wait long for the desired certificate.
But, after talking in more detail, I realized that intensive does not suit me. The program is very rich. Most of the topics have to be actively worked out at home. A schematic system of presentation prevails: teachers give lectures, as in an institute. The student obtains all additional information himself: prepares reports, studies textbooks and additional literature. After each block of topics, there are tests. They also need to be prepared.
At the end of the year, you will have to take all (!) General subjects. And there are many of them: algebra, geometry, physics, chemistry, literature, etc. It is very difficult for a person who works a lot to prepare for such a number of tests. At the very least, take a vacation.
I was confused by the question of payment. There is no free intensive. School fees range from $500 to $1,000 per year. For each additional consultation with teachers you need to pay.
For adults
At the next school on the list, I decided to find out about regular, non-abbreviated programs. It turns out that according to the standards, the term of study in an evening general education institution at the third stage (high school) is three years. The fact is that classes are not held daily (three times a week - study, one day - tests). The number of teaching hours per week is significantly less than in a regular school (23 instead of 36). The increased duration of training is a forced measure, otherwise you will not have time to complete the prescribed program.
By the way, the thematic content of classes in day and evening schools is the same. The exception is physical education and the so-called subjects of the aesthetic cycle: drawing, drafting, etc. Not all evening schools have computer science.
Classes are held in the evenings, from 16.00 to 20.30. For those who cannot take time off from work three times a week, an individual schedule is provided: by agreement with the teachers, part of the lessons can be skipped, completing assignments at home.
At the end of the training, final exams are taken according to the same system as in a regular school. Two compulsory subjects (composition, algebra), two more - to choose from other school disciplines. Those who graduate from school are issued a state-recognized certificate, exactly the same as in a regular general education school.
Do you want to pass the exam? If there are enough applicants, the unified state exam is carried out centrally. If not, graduates can enroll in the exam on their own.
Golden mean
"If there is a short and a long program, perhaps there is also an average one" - I thought and continued to collect information.
There really is such an option. True, you will have to study ... in the morning. The full name of the "evening" is the State educational institution evening shift general education school. It turns out that there are not only evening shifts, but also morning shifts. Lessons begin at 9 am and end almost like in a regular school - in the afternoon. "What is the difference then?" I asked.
Firstly, you will have to study four days a week, not five. This mode suits the guys who left the regular school in order to start actively preparing for entering the university. There is an additional free day for visiting or preparatory courses. Secondly, such training is also suitable for the opposite category of students - those who had problems with their studies in their previous school. In the "evening" teachers are more attentive, if necessary, they study additionally, practice a differentiated approach. Those in need of psychological assistance (for example, children from disadvantaged families) can use the free services of a psychologist or social pedagogue.
The third plus is the opportunity to get a profession in parallel. In some schools (in particular, GOU VSOSH 51), special classes in computer science are organized for full-time students, after which a certificate is issued on the acquired profession of a laboratory programmer.
In the mornings, school-age children (14-16 years old) are more often involved. There are few adults - at this time everyone is at work.
In the morning groups, students' leisure is thought out: free trips to the theater and museums, bus tours around Moscow and the nearest suburbs are organized. There are circles and sections (for example, theater or music).
By the way, in some evening schools they accept even without a basic general education. Organized classes for the ninth or even eighth grade. True, it is impossible to come to such a school on a general basis: the conclusion of the commission on early expulsion is required, indicating the reasons that made you leave your previous place of study.
Sitting at the desk
After analyzing the collected information, I came to the conclusion: I will focus on the traditional three-year system. The loss of time is compensated by a convenient class schedule, small homework assignments, and detailed presentation. I chose the school closest to my home that offers this form of education.
To enroll in an evening school, it is enough to bring a certificate of basic school education (9 classes). If for some reason you cannot present this document, although you have completed nine classes, there is a way out. According to the regulation on evening schools, in this case a special subject commission is assembled. Its representatives examine the applicant in the main school disciplines. You will be able to demonstrate a sufficient level of knowledge - they will be enrolled in the school. Such cases happen. For example, one of the young people lost his certificate during the move. Since he studied in another city, there was no time to restore the document. I had to take the exam!
All other applicants are exempted from entrance examinations, tests or even interviews. Evening schools accept everyone without any preliminary selection.
There were 26 people in my class; there are more young people than girls. Most of the students are students of the nearest school. This situation is widespread in evening schools. Professional education guys get in a school or college, complete secondary - in VSOSH. The schedule is tight: in the morning - professional classes, in the evening - general education subjects. But after three years, students immediately receive both a certificate and a diploma.
Several classmates - people my age - in their early twenties. They all work during the day. According to the observations of teachers, the older the student, the more seriously he approaches the matter. Such students went to study further consciously and do not want to waste time just like that.
I'm rewriting my schedule. There are five or six lessons every day. Before the first lesson, I'm worried - what if I don't understand anything from the teacher's explanation? Still, a long break in classes can make itself felt ... I especially worry about algebra and geometry - these subjects have never been given to me.
At first, I really had a hard time: while I got into the rhythm, I remembered the necessary formulas and rules ... Then it became easier. The teachers helped a lot - they additionally explained the misunderstood, helped to concentrate. After all, teaching a group of different ages is much more difficult than a class that has “got used” over the years of joint training: each student of the “evening” has his own motivation for classes, his own gaps in knowledge, his own difficulties ... One gets tired at work and therefore falls asleep in class, the other too lagged far behind the program, the third has all his thoughts occupied by his family or parallel studies.
One of the teachers said that the most difficult period in the work is September. This month, most students undergo adaptation. Disruptions are possible: unfortunately, far from everyone who enters school graduates.
But do not think that night school students are complete losers. For example, last year 24% of graduates of VSOSH 51 entered universities, including state ones. The profiles of the institutes are very different, as are the students themselves, and the reasons that brought them to the threshold of the "evening".
