Anzor Muzayev added that teachers indeed have it easier — previously around May 25 there were always the final school bells, and exams sometimes began as early as May 23, before the final bells had even rung. The Federal Agency for Education Monitoring and Ensuring Standard of Education in Russia deemed the transfer of the start of the Unified State Exam to June 1 fully justified.
Consensus
- The start of the Unified State Exam (ЕГЭ) has been permanently moved to June 1.
- The change was implemented in 2025 based on a presidential decree.
- The decision has not faced resistance from the education system.
- The move allows schools to conduct final school events (last bell) before exams begin.
- Teachers and students benefit from having more time to prepare for exams after the last bell.
