Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Dmitry Livanov offered admission to universities to consider not only the results of exam entrants, but also its portfolio, as well as an average rating for the certificate. This he said at the meeting with the rectors of state universities. The Minister said that the opportunity to improve their performance before going through diligent portfolio will help students and those who have a penchant for creativity, sports and science.

Voiced his opinion on the matter:
— On the background of another large-scale scandal with the CSE the proposal of Mr. Livanov looks like another half-measure, a promise designed to somehow defuse the situation. Course , record the average score for school-leaving certificate — the right decision, because in the current situation assessment for non-core subjects for the desired university does not play any role in the future entrant is unfair. Overall success and knowledge are important to the future of the student is no less than a good score on the profile subject. However, consideration of extra-curricular achievements — is another matter, with the challenges and nuances. What counts as achievements, who will evaluate them, as will be added to points How to avoid corruption and the appearance of a wave of young athletes and artists that exist only on paper purchased by them ? Finally, no portfolio, no average score for the school-leaving certificate does not eliminate the vulnerabilities exam, nor does it bring us closer to sobesedovatelnoy system, a number of elite Western universities.
