Abolition of the Unified State Exam and Socialism. Oleg Makarenko Publication in CHAT: Russia Capitalism is built on the idea of property rights, while socialism is built on the idea of manual distribution of resources. Let's say in a village Peter catches fish and Valentin runs a small apple orchard. The rules of capitalism dictate that everyone's work must be measured in money: say, 5 coins for a bucket of fish and 3 coins for a bucket of apples. However much he caught or grew is how much he earned, provided that other villagers were willing to pay the set price. In addition, the rules of capitalism assume that Valentin's orchard belongs to Valentin, even if someone thinks Valentin is unworthy of owning it. Property rights can be violated only in exceptional cases. Socialism has different rules. Peter and Valentin should receive approximately the same amount, so that no one feels deprived. Socialism also requires the confiscation of Valentin's garden - firstly, the income from the garden can be used to pay off profits, secondly, the garden makes Valentin rich, and this is wrong: under socialism there should be no rich people. Now that we have said this, let's look at the Unified State Exam, the abolition of which our opponents demand (link). I believe that it is no coincidence that the same oppositionists unanimously oppose healthy capitalism. The format of the Unified State Exam is classic capitalism, an accurate and ruthless measurement of a student's knowledge. The chances of cheating are minimal, so a schoolchild from a remote Buryat village is subjected to exactly the same tests as a schoolchild from a good Moscow family. Meritocracy in its purest form is the promotion of the fittest. The old-style exams were closer in spirit to socialism: places in universities were previously distributed at the discretion of admissions committees, which took into account not only the knowledge of candidates, but also their origin, financial situation and other factors important for the university. employees In general, if you think about it, the whole point of socialist reforms is to take away a person's right to determine his own destiny. Under socialism, a worker earns not as much as he can, but as much as his management decides. At the exam, a candidate solves not as many problems as his knowledge and training allow, but as many as the admissions committee deems correct. The end result is usually bad: the strong lose the desire to exert themselves, and the morally dishonest scoundrels by hook or by crook take places where they can "hand out money" ... The Unified State Exam is useful to society as a whole ... because it fills universities with more capable students. Previously, 50% of capable people and 70% of criminals got into the best places (the sum is more than 100%, since the enrollments overlap). After the introduction of the Unified State Exam, 95% of capable people and 10% of criminals get into the best places. The administration of the most fashionable universities in Russia does not benefit from the Unified State Exam, since it deprived them of proper nutrition and a significant part of their influence. In addition, after the introduction of the Unified State Exam, many children of teachers were forced to refuse to enter a university together with their parents, because they scored too few points on the Unified State Exam, and it was not possible to pass them along the ring route. . . In fact, universities understood all this 15 years ago, when the Unified State Exam project was just beginning - that is why the campaign against the Unified State Exam has lasted all these 15 years. Finally, it is advantageous for opposition deputies to PR on the prejudices of their dense electorate, which basically either did not take the Unified State Exam, and judge it by the retellings of haters, or those who scored a deservedly low score. score on the Unified State Exam. In addition, although the rectors of fashionable universities have lost a significant part of their influence because of the Unified State Exam, they still have important lobbying opportunities. They use these opportunities, including, to repeatedly attack their most important problem - the assessment of candidates' knowledge independently of them. I regularly remind you that if you “don’t read, but judge me,” then the Internet is full of training versions of the Unified State Exam, which you can take in an hour or two to get a more complete idea of this. that exam. In my opinion, the Unified State Exam is very far from ideal - especially in the inexact sciences - but it is still immeasurably better than the old, thoroughly corrupt system of favorites and thieves.
