After the incident at School No. 62 in Voronezh, where female students were allegedly forced to strip during the identity checks for the exam, the Education Committee of the State Duma will ask regional education ministers to prevent any excesses during the administration of the USE, according to sources from the State Duma. The situation has caused a lot of noise and has stirred up several government bodies, including the prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Education, and Rosobrnadzor.
According to some of the female students, they experienced immense stress and humiliation as they were forced to remove their bras in order to gain entry to the exam. However, the school's administration denies these allegations and claims that the students were unable to handle their emotions. Some of the girls claim that they have filed complaints with the prosecutor's office.
The Education Committee of the State Duma will hold a selective meeting with the regions where it will demand that education ministers ensure that there are no excesses during the exams, according to Yan Lantratova, the first deputy head of the committee. This decision was made after the scandalous incident at School No. 62 in Voronezh, where 11th grade students claimed they were forced to remove their underwear during the identity checks for the exam.
Videos from the school's security cameras went viral, showing one of the female students lifting her shirt at the request of a security guard, revealing her bra. This action was intended to confirm that she did not have any metal objects on her person. It appears that several other girls were subjected to the same procedure.
Many of the students experienced significant stress and some were in tears, making it difficult for them to focus on the exam. The school's examination center staff tried to conceal the incident, according to one student.
The situation has prompted the Education Committee of the State Duma to schedule a meeting with the head of Rosobrnadzor. Additionally, a deputy of the State Duma has sent a request to the Prosecutor General asking for an investigation into the situation. If the allegations are confirmed, severe punishments will be requested.
The incident in Voronezh has caused outrage and calls for action from various officials, including the Speaker of the State Duma and the Minister of Education. Psychologists have also criticized the examination procedures, stating that they are not only humiliating and traumatic for the students but also potentially illegal.
Further investigations and legal actions are expected to take place regarding the incident at School No. 62 in Voronezh.
