The attitude to the silver medal at school is very ambiguous nowadays.

What does a silver medal give?

Previously, Russian schoolchildren who received a silver medal at the end of school had the right to enter a university, including passing the profiling exam for an excellent mark.

With the introduction of the USE, this privilege ceased to exist. At present, the admission of Russian schoolchildren to universities is connected only with the number of points received on the unified state exam. The real help from a silver medal for admission consists only in the advantage of a student over another student without a medal with the same number of USE points.

Given the current state of affairs in Russian schools, receiving a medal gives a student nothing but the status of a medalist. But for the prestige of the school, the teachers, the number of medal winners released is still important. The school administration always strives to increase the number of silver and gold medalists.

In connection with this situation, it was even supposed to cancel the presentation of gold and silver medals to schoolchildren, but after discussion it was decided that there should still be medalists in schools.

Things are a little different in Ukrainian schools. The silver medalist is awarded 200 additional points, so necessary for admission, which contributed to the increase in the prestige of excellent studies on the one hand, and the appearance of "fake" medalists on the other.

The silver medal of the school graduate, like the gold medal, has been awarded for over 50 years. Initially, the medals really consisted of real silver and real gold, but since 1954, alloys began to be used in the manufacture of medals, and after 1960 the name of the medals became purely symbolic. They are made mainly of an alloy of copper and nickel, and covered with a colorless varnish that prevents the metal from darkening. The medal is awarded for “Special Achievements in Learning”.

If you have set yourself the goal of getting a silver medal at school, then it would be nice to find out under what conditions it is issued.

Conditions for obtaining a silver medal

How should schoolchildren, applying for a silver medal, study, how many fours can they have in the certificate?

According to the new rules, a silver medal can be received by any student of a Russian school who:

• in grades 10 and 11 will have no more than two grades in each semester and at the end of each year;
• and will pass the exam not lower than the minimum threshold.

The conditions for obtaining a silver medal and the status of a medalist for Ukrainian schoolchildren are somewhat different.

To receive the silver medal, the school requirements are as follows:

• a student for the period of study in grades 10, 11 can have 8 points in no more than two subjects according to the results for the semester, for the year and according to the results of the state final attestation;
• all other marks should be 10-12 points.

The decision on whether a particular graduate will receive a medal or not is made at a joint meeting of the school council and the teacher's council. After approval by the local education authority, the decision is approved by the school principal.

Getting a silver medal at school, what should be done for this?

If you decide to seek a silver or gold medal, then:

Even if receiving a silver medal at school does not give the student any advantages in admission, it will give him the status of a student with extraordinary abilities (which can be useful when). The student's name will always adorn the list of medalists in the school annals.

What is the essence of the gold award for successful graduation from high school

This is what a modern gold medal looks like

The Medal for Excellence in Teaching has been awarded since 1828. During this period, the award has undergone both external and regulatory changes. For modern graduates, the medal is issued with the coat of arms of Russia and an enamel ribbon in the colors of the national flag on the obverse. On the reverse it is indicated that the award was given for "Special Achievement in Learning". The medal certificate is executed with gold stamping. Since 2014, the medal has not been awarded at the federal level, but the regions retain the right to encourage excellent students in this way.

Rewarding conditions

Ball of medalists

A gold medal at school is probably the first cherished trophy that students dream of. However, over the years of study, someone progressively strides towards their goal, and someone puts up with the fact that stable high marks are not his strong point and is looking for how to express themselves in other areas of school life. Both those and others have the right to their own path, which does not guarantee a cloudless future.

It is interesting. According to statistics, the most difficult thing is to earn a gold medal in Sakhalin - every 596th schoolchild receives a trophy. For comparison: in the Stavropol Territory, every 29th graduate becomes the owner of the award "For Special Achievements in Education".

So, in what case can a student expect a high reward after completing a full secondary education?

• If for 10 and 11 grades in all subjects he has high final marks. Previously, the requirement was tougher - a high score was required not only in the final grades, but also in semester and annual grades. Therefore, it is now easier to get a gold medal.
• If the pedagogical council of teachers of an educational institution made a decision on awarding a graduate, and on its basis, as well as on the basis of the order of the school director, the administration of the educational institution agreed on the issue with the apparatus of the local education administration.
• If the candidate is not studying externally.

What will additionally help to get a medal

Gold medal - a worthy reward for work in education

The main condition for receiving a high award for success in learning, of course, is the final grade of "five" in all subjects of the school cycle. But there are also a number of requirements that will help schoolchildren become the owner of the coveted trophy at the prom:

1. An active social position in the life of an educational institution. The fact is that the decision on awarding is first made by the pedagogical council of the school based on the academic work and personal qualities of the candidate. Therefore, it is very important to engage in extracurricular activities (subject Olympiads, conferences, competitions, KVN-mi, etc.).
2. Over the past two academic years, the student has not received re-certification in subjects in order to increase the score.
3. The student studied the entire scope of the school curriculum in person. However, physical education exemption is allowed for health reasons.
4. The medal candidate was not exempted from the final certification.

Benefits of Medalists

To date, the medalists participate in the admission campaign on equal terms

For many years, receiving a gold medal meant benefits when entering a university: an applicant was admitted to any educational institution on the basis of an interview. Since 2009, a law has been adopted on equal conditions for enrollment in universities on the basis of the average score, which is made up of the certificate score and the points obtained when passing the exam. The medal is just an advantage if the average mark is the same for several applicants. Since 2015, this condition has gained additional value, since admission to the university takes place after the applicant has passed the original documents on graduation from school. That is, if earlier a former student first assessed his place in the ranking of universities, and then he determined which of them he would study, now the graduate is forced to play “blindly”. In this case, of course, the presence of a medal provides a kind of insurance in case the applicants have the same score.

The medal "For Special Achievements in Learning" loses its advantages over the years, but in any case remains an important incentive for schooling. After all, the desire to be the first, the best is laid in childhood, and this forms ambitions that help to achieve success in adulthood.
