On June 14, Vitebsk / Diana Kurilo - BELTA /. Automated verification of completed test assignments of centralized testing provides an objective assessment of applicants' knowledge. This conclusion was reached by the employees of the State Control Committee during the inspection of appeals last year regarding allegedly incorrect test evaluations. This was announced to journalists by the First Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Control Committee, Deputy Chairman of the Regional Commission for Monitoring the Preparation and Conduct of Entrance Examinations to Higher and Secondary Specialized Educational Institutions in 2011, Vadim Zaryankin, reports BELTA correspondent. "The centralized testing system creates equal conditions for assessing applicants' knowledge and allows for their objective evaluation," Vadim Zaryankin is convinced. According to him, last year, at the request of parents of applicants who received low scores, a manual re-check of the completed assignments was carried out, during which the previously awarded grades were confirmed. In the Vitebsk region, 8 testing centers opened today on the basis of the Vitebsk State Technological University, Vitebsk State University named after P.M. Masherov, Vitebsk State Medical University, Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, Vitebsk State Technical College, Polotsk State University, Novopolotsk State Polytechnic College and Orsha State Mechanical-Economic College. To monitor the conduct of centralized testing, the Regional Control Committee and the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee have established relevant commissions for monitoring at the testing centers. In addition to the permanent staff of the State Control Committee, 416 additional people have been involved for direct monitoring in each аудитория during the testing. These are employees, representatives of local executive and administrative bodies, employees of educational institutions and representatives of the "BRSM" public association. As Vadim Zaryankin emphasized, "this is not a lack of trust in educational institutions, but a system of state and public control."
