How much to study in evening school after 9. Evening school. What does the evening school give

The times of "Big Change" and "Spring on Zarechnaya Street" are not over

In this Prokopyevsk school, classes are three times a week. High school students do not have diaries, many are already mothers and fathers themselves. If such students skip school, it means that they were not released from work. The younger class is troubled teenagers who have been kicked out of mainstream schools. Our correspondent dropped in in the evening to find out how much everything has changed since the "Big Change" and "Spring on Zarechnaya Street."

English lesson at evening school in Prokopyevsk

Naughty

The only evening in Prokopyevsk works on the basis of the former 41st school. Since 2013, the school has become part of the Electrical Engineering Technical School, but we will call it in the old manner. There seems to be not one, but two evening schools here. Senior pupils (pupils of 10-12 grades) are adults, responsible and socialized. And in the 9th grade, schoolchildren go to the direction of the inspection for juvenile affairs. Graduates of the local ninth grade tend to continue their education in other educational institutions... It is extremely rare to enter here in the tenth.

The ninth-grader Antonina (the name has been changed for ethical reasons) has been in the evening since October, before that she went to a regular school. She is dressed in a country style, wrapped in a downy shawl and resembles the girl depicted on the Alenka chocolate bar, only older and larger. He gives the impression of an open, trusting and non-conflicting person.

- Why were you transferred here?

- For hooliganism.

- What exactly did you do?

- I misbehaved. The windows were beating at the school.

- You seem calm.

- They were there all the time saying: “Tonka that! Tonka it! Tonka has messed up again ... ". And I decided: "If you say so, here's to you - get it!"

- There is no such thing here?

- No. Here the teachers are different.

According to today's teachers Antonina, if she was once uncontrollable, now behaves differently. True, I recently ran away from the last lesson, I had to call Tony's grandmother. I don’t ask the corresponding question, but it’s clear that the girl either doesn’t have parents, or they don’t care about the fate of her daughter.

The very first evening school in Prokopyevsk opened in 1933 and was located in Artem Lane. Since the end of the 90s, this school began to cooperate with the 41st school. The school recruited, among other things, groups of two-year students who received only a profession, but not a certificate of secondary education. Many studied in parallel in the evening. To make life easier for such students, they decided to conduct lessons within the walls of the 41st. Now the school in Artyom Lane is gone. Eight years ago, she completely "moved" to the school, where both students mastering the profession and, separately, pupils of the evening school study. Former teachers"Evenings" now work in the school: they teach lessons both in groups of students and in the classes of the evening school.

I am talking with just such a teacher. She asked not to be named.

“Look,” she explains. - Pupil N. - it is not necessary for his surname to flicker. He committed a crime - one, the second. I missed a lot of classes in a regular school. In the end, they raised the question point-blank. He says: "I will not go to you!" He came to us - and now he is one of the best in the class. He tries. Then he wants to go to college or technical school.

As the teacher said, N. “stole metal from somewhere”. She believes that the guy has improved. And very worried about him.

- I spoke with the investigator. There will be a trial. I hope they will give it conditionally.

- And if you do end up in a colony?

- There is also a school there. Finish my studies. I have children who sit in the colony and call me from there.

All pupils are called children here, even over-aged ones (a couple of years ago a forty-three-year-old man studied at this school). As for the calls from the colony, the teacher recalls a ninth-grader who got married and left the evening. She gave birth to two. I couldn't get a job without education. To feed herself, she traded in drugs. After all, she graduated from the nine-year school, but behind the barbed wire. The former student, having freed herself, is unlikely to come to the senior classes of the evening, but she will still break up with a criminal past, the teacher is sure.

How successful are those who are sent by the juvenile affairs inspection in the evening to socialize? The teachers found it difficult to answer. Some difficult teenagers do not care about the direction: to steal and rob, a certificate is not required. And the teachers sometimes hear: “Your student has gone to jail!”, But this criminal has never been to the evening school. Those who go to class tend to take their minds. For them, the evening is a chance to change their lives, and they try not to miss this chance.

“You know, I recently met a man on the street,” says the same teacher. - He greeted: "Remember, I studied with you?" Tolya! He graduated from our ninth grade. Says: “I am in Moscow. Graduated from medical school. I work as a nurse in a military unit. " For Tolya, everything turned out as he dreamed. I'm so happy for him!

The ninth graders I saw don't look like criminals. Quite adequate and polite, though not too sociable. I think many could stay in ordinary schools, from which they exclude - so that the indicators do not spoil - not only novice criminals, but also petty hooligans and truants. And pregnant schoolgirls leave in the evening.

- Do you treat such young mothers normally?

- Of course, this is life. For an ordinary school, this is something non-standard, but here adults also learn. They don't look askance at us, - says the teacher.

Careerists and technicians

In the Prokopyevsk evening, those who at one time graduated only from five classes studied. But there are very few of them left in the city, the corresponding class cannot be completed, and they go to the Novokuznetsk evening school to catch up. And in Prokopyevskaya today, the youngest grade is ninth. And there are more and more ninth graders. In ordinary schools, after the ninth, only two OGE were taken before, now - five. Accordingly, the number of those who did not pass increased. Those who fail the exam are often transferred to the evening. Olga Terentyeva, a teacher of Russian and literature at an evening school and class teacher of 12th grade, spoke about this.

According to the Law "On Education", basic education is compulsory (up to grade 9 inclusive). However, many employers interpret the law differently and send those who do not have an "average complete", that is, eleven grades, to study in the evening. Olga Sergeevna explains that many high school evening students entered this school under threat of dismissal from their jobs. Others need the USE to enter a university. In general, in the evening, everything is very heterogeneous. Adults. Almost all high school students work. Everyone has their own background, life experience and their own motives to finish the eleventh (more precisely, the twelfth - the program has been extended here).

Several years ago, Olga Sergeevna had a student who worked as a driver and said that he was not going to turn the steering wheel and swallow dust all his life, but wanted to sit in an office in a leadership position, wearing a white shirt and a fashionable jacket. He achieved his goal.

However, in adulthood, school textbooks are taken up not only by careerists, but also by those who can really sympathize with.

- Nurses are learning. Sellers who do not want to sell beer, but want to move somewhere further. Technics. Yesterday a student said: “How long can I scrub floors and clean toilets ?! When I had to, I didn’t study, but now I’m sitting in class and don’t understand anything. ” But she tries, - says Olga Terentyeva.

And in the evening, a girl studied, who simultaneously graduated from the Prokopyevsky College of Music. I wanted to properly prepare for the Unified State Exam in order to enter the university. Now she is a vocalist in one of the Moscow theaters.

Olga Sergeevna generally has a positive attitude towards the exam. Evening graduates take it in the general stream, together with students from ordinary schools. They no longer have to expect that the teachers they know will regret it. And the cunning - there are, of course, some - understand that now you cannot buy a certificate: it is easy to check on the electronic database whether the owner of the "crusts" of the exam.

Olga Terentyeva at the lesson

But, according to Olga Terentyeva, it is still better to study on time. Once upon a time, the programs of evening and ordinary schools coincided, the same number of hours was allocated for each subject. Now classes are three days a week. In form - lessons, but in essence - consultations. You need to master a lot of material on your own. During the year, students take several tests in all subjects. Failures in the exam and exam are not common, but they do happen. Some high school students, who seem to have come with a desire to study, still drop out of evening school.

As the teachers said, last year one student had to leave her studies because the boss did not want to revise her work schedule. Probably, it is easier to manage the uneducated.

"The best" crusts "in the city"

Today, about 40 ninth-graders and 30 high-school students are studying in Prokopyevskaya evening.

A few minutes before the start of the first lesson in the senior class, I manage to have a very short conversation with thirty-five-year-old Svetlana.

- I forgot everything absolutely! - she admits. - But here the teachers explain more clearly, chew everything. It's even funny that I did not understand these topics at the time.

After evening school, Svetlana is going to medical college. She has a son in the ninth, a daughter in the sixth. She helps them do their homework, and the children appreciated how much their mother's erudition had increased.

The tenth grader Evgeny Shabaev works as a mechanic-repairman at the mine. At one time he received a profession at school No. 12, but did not receive a certificate of secondary education. In the evening I came by myself, I was not forced at work. Works: day, night, two days at home. Sometimes I manage to go to classes all three times a week, sometimes only once. Teachers say that Shabaev is doing well.

- We have the best "crusts" in the city - the rights to BelAZ or a bulldozer. They teach in Gostekhnadzor, there is no need for eleven classes, - says Evgeny.

- Why then went to the evening?

- It will come in handy. I want to study while there is time and opportunity.

Julia is Evgenia's classmate. He goes to classes from the village of Mikhailovka. There are six hundred inhabitants and only a nine-year-old, after graduating from which, the girl took courses as a manicure master. Now he works in this specialty. After a two-year break, I decided to return to school - now in the evening.

- Very convenient schedule: only three days a week. Therefore, it is possible to combine it with work. - says Julia.

- Does the employer let you go to study?

- I work for myself.

- They ask strictly, teach seriously?

- More serious than at the school where I studied before.

Mikhailovka belongs to the Prokopyevsky district, but much closer to Kiselevsk - only fifteen minutes away. The Prokopyevsk teachers explained that, as far as they knew, not a single evening school remained in Kiselevsk. And the Department of Education of Kiselevsk confirmed that there is no more evening in this city.

We add that there is only one evening school left for the entire Prokopyevsky district - on the basis of an agricultural college in the village of Shkolny. They called there. The leaders of the college say that one evening is not enough for an entire district; residents of not all villages and townships can regularly travel to Shkolny.

Evening schools allow you not only to fill the missing gap in your own education, but also finally to take up your mind and think about the prospects for the future, combining education with work. In other words, such educational institutions play a special role in the Russian education system, occupying an intermediate niche between a regular school and organizations of additional education.

We are assured that modern school education accessible to almost everyone. However, often, due to life circumstances, some high school students are forced to leave the walls educational institution and look for work. Quite often, the reason for premature graduation is conscription into the army, which is why many young people believe that their education, and therefore a successful career in the future, can be “put to death”. After all, we all know that without a diploma to take off on the career ladder and material well-being almost impossible.

However, not everything is as bleak as it might seem at first glance. Thanks to the institute of the evening school that exists in Russia, every citizen of our country can receive a complete secondary education at any age (even if he graduated from 8-9 grades a few years ago), and, accordingly, continue his studies at the university.

Note that evening schools allow you not only to fill the missing gap in your own education, but also finally to take up your mind and think about prospects for the future, combining training with work. In other words, such educational institutions play a special role in the Russian education system, occupying an intermediate niche between a regular school and organizations of additional education.

Who goes to night school?

In times Soviet Union evening schools were intended mainly for young workers who were not at all of school age. Today, the bulk of students in such educational institutions are adolescents from a disadvantaged environment, who, due to their age, should have studied in a regular school. And only a third of the students are working young people over school age.

But this does not mean that every high school student can drop out of high school and go to evening form of study... According to current legislation, after the ninth grade, a teenager can be transferred to night school only with the permission of the Commission on Minors' Affairs.

If we talk about the "adult" category of students, then most often contract servicemen enter the evening school who, due to the lack of secondary education, cannot renew their contract, and athletes who, due to frequent competitions, were unable to complete secondary education on time.

Problems of the modern evening school

It's no secret that Russian system education is currently in a rather critical state, and is just beginning its path towards global reform. However, evening schools found themselves in the most sad situation, as evidenced by a number of problems, which include:

• financing on a residual basis - and this applies to both the material and technical and methodological part, and the financing of staff units. As a result, the evening school cannot make timely repairs, provide students with educational materials and staff with all the necessary specialists (psychologist, social educator, methodologist, educator, etc.);
• lack of specialized curriculum for evening schools- as a rule, the teachers of each evening school independently "recycle" methodological materials regular school, adjusting the curriculum high school for the number of hours that these educational institutions are entitled to;
• alienation of evening school teachers from status school teacher- Because of this problem, many teachers face great difficulties in applying for a seniority pension and do not receive a supplement for classroom leadership.

Features of training in an evening school

According to the regulations, evening school is three years old. The increased duration of education is a compulsory measure, since classes in most of these schools are not held daily, while the number of teaching hours is noticeably less than in a regular secondary school.

As can be understood from the name of the educational institution, classes are held in the evenings (as a rule, from 16-00 to 20-30). Moreover, the student can switch to an individual training schedule, having agreed with the teacher that he will skip some of the lessons and complete tasks at home.

There are evening schools that provide daytime education (yes, yes, no matter how strange it sounds). In such educational institutions, classes begin at 9 am and end at 15-16 hours. True, you only need to study four days a week. At the same time, taking into account the specifics of the contingent (adolescents from disadvantaged families who experience difficulties in learning and in communicating with others), teachers are loyal to their students, practicing a differentiated approach.

Evening school: to be or not to be?

It is not the first year in Russia that the question of the need for evening schools has been actively discussed. Many experts are sure that modern society does not need them, since get secondary education today it is possible remotely and in a regular school. However, statistics indicate the opposite: in last years the demand for this type of education is steadily growing - many people strive to get secondary education on the job, after a 10-year or even 30-year break in their studies.

Why are there so many people who want to study at night school? According to UNESCO, today there are more than a million absolutely illiterate children and adolescents living in our country (and this is only official statistics, in fact, there are many more such children) who, instead of going to school, wander, beg, steal, etc. Are all potential evening school students. In addition, small schools are closed annually in Russia (most often in small villages), whose former students are not able to travel to study in a neighboring locality and remain illiterate.

We emphasize that for this category of people, evening school is the only opportunity not only to achieve success in life, but also to become a full-fledged member of society. Therefore, it is too early to seriously consider the question of liquidating the institution of evening school in our country. Fortunately, Russian statesmen understand this and are doing everything possible to create (or rather, restore) a legal basis for night school activities, which are not even mentioned in the current edition of the Law "On Education".

Weekend and evening school.

Our Weekend and Evening School is open for students in grades 5-11 with no age limit!
And it is especially in demand by students over 18 years old !!!
According to statistics, more than seven and a half thousand people study in evening schools alone in Moscow every year (data from 2014).

Those of our adult students study here who did not graduate from school at one time for various reasons, but now already have a job (working in shifts or in a 5-day working week with two days off), but wants to move up the career ladder further and it is vital for him to catch up and finish school.

According to the model provision on educational institutions, minor children and adolescents study in ordinary day schools. Adults who have not had time to complete basic or complete secondary education before the age of 18 can complete it in evening school. Life situations the students of evening schools are very different: after graduating from basic secondary school, someone served in the army and, intending to continue to study at a university, while preparing in an evening school according to the 10th, 11th grade program for final certification, obtaining a certificate and passing the exam, someone studied at a technical school or college, but did not finish it - they got married or got married, interrupting their studies "according to family circumstances". Someone came from another city or even a country and finishes education according to new Russian educational standards.
This, however, does not in any way limit these adult students in their rights and opportunities for obtaining good education... Evening school is an opportunity to receive full-fledged certificates of basic and complete secondary education of the state standard! And even at a more convenient time!

An evening school is a special educational institution that provides everyone with a general secondary education. The main students are working adults, so classes are held in the evening. Some naively believe that evening school- a relic of the Soviet era, which has completely lost its relevance. In fact, on the contrary, this type of educational institution has never lost its significance and popularity: many people sign up for classes every year!

Who is visiting her?

All citizens who, for whatever reason, have not received secondary education, can study at night school. As a rule, adults over 20 years old, who have only 9 classes behind them, and sometimes even less, apply for help. Often, young people who have passed conscript service in the army and decided to enter universities. In such cases, they will be able to master the missing program and feel free to submit documents to the admissions office. In addition, working people come to improve their education, who need a promotion, and the work schedule does not at all allow to study during the day. Since most employers insist on having employees general education, this group of students, as a rule, predominates numerically. Evening school becomes a real opportunity for them to improve working conditions and achieve career growth.

Features of training

The main feature that distinguishes these institutions from the usual schools is the opening hours. Classes begin at 4 pm-5pm, when many students come home from work. Lessons end late in the evening - at about 20 - 20.30.

The mode of operation of an evening educational institution, as a rule, does not provide for daily classes. They are conducted several times a week, moreover, the hourly load on the subject is much less than in a regular school.

Another distinctive feature is the “motley” composition of students. The classroom gathers an audience of all ages, which makes the learning process quite difficult.

The problems of evening schools

Despite the great importance of this educational link, evening institutions face a wide range of problems. Let's consider the most essential aspects.

Financing. Unfortunately, this special status “plays” against institutions: they receive much less money from the state than ordinary schools. Sometimes the management is forced not only to cut teachers' salaries, but are also not ready to replenish the staff with additional specialists. Of course, this affects not only the salaries of employees, but also the quality. educational process generally. Lack of funds for timely repair, replacement and renewal of equipment and computerization makes the learning process uncomfortable and significantly reduces its effectiveness.

Lack of methodological base. The teachers of these institutions do not have special teaching aids... Therefore, the whole process is based on the usual school principles and on the same material. The teacher has to do more than just adapt school curriculum under the new conditions, but also to be able to "squeeze" the material in a short time. It is worth noting that in simple schools, the number of hours devoted to a topic is often not enough for proper study. In the evening school this time is even less! So, most of the questions remain for independent study.
