If a student from the first grade studied at "5" and "4", then it will not be difficult for him to get a silver medal at school. After all, the child even forms a peculiar habit of work. The desire to gain new knowledge in science appears in such children involuntarily. To get a silver medal, such students just need to add more perseverance and keep the "fours" to a minimum. After all, the number of “fours” for a silver medal is limited.

Many people ask: “In order to be awarded a silver medal, how many “fours” can I get in the last years of study?” For the last two (and in some schools three) years of study, a student who wants to get a silver medal should have no more than two "fours" in half a year and a year. It happens that some regional ministries of education say that in order to get a silver medal, a student must have a maximum of two "fours" in the last year of study, and for the 10th grade - one "five". It is not true. The child has the right to a silver medal, even if he has 1-2 "fours" but no more) for the 10th grade.

It is interesting that earlier in Russia the criteria for awarding a silver medal were not so strict. In the first half of the 10th grade, it was possible to have many "fours". And only from the second half of the year until the end of school, it was necessary to reduce their number in six months to one or two.

If the student was not even good during his studies in primary and secondary school, then in high school he will have to try and stock up on perseverance if he is determined to get a silver medal. Of course, without good mental abilities and with poor academic performance for all previous years of study, a student will not be able to deserve a silver medal.

If the mental abilities of the child are quite high, and the poor grades for the previous years of study are only the results of laziness, inattention and a frivolous attitude to learning, then it is quite possible that the student will be able to complete his studies at a secondary educational institution with particular success. The question arises: how to get a silver medal at school, what do such students need for this? In this case, you need to completely change your outlook on studying and devote most of your time to it, regularly do homework in all subjects without exception. After all, a silver medal is almost as difficult as a gold medal.

Few people know that in the USSR medals were awarded not only for excellent studies. The behavior of the student during the years of study at the institution was also taken into account. At that time, when awarding medals, grades in subjects that were not related to the mental abilities of schoolchildren were not taken into account. This, for example, music, physical education, drawing.

Nowadays, obtaining a silver medal and a special certificate directly depends not only on the annual and semi-annual grades of a student for the last two years of study. The result of the Unified State Examination is of great importance. His results in the two main subjects of the contender for the medal must be satisfactory, that is, the graduate must necessarily pass the minimum threshold.

Studying has never interfered with anyone, and therefore it is worth striving to comprehend new heights in school disciplines. Getting a silver medal is always prestigious. This is an indicator of the student's knowledge and his reward for his work. Good luck in your studies!

The attitude to the silver medal at school in our time is very ambiguous.

What does a silver medal give?

Previously, Russian schoolchildren who received a silver medal at the end of school had the right to enter a university, including by passing a profiling exam for an excellent mark.

With the introduction of the USE, this privilege ceased to exist. Currently, the admission of Russian schoolchildren to universities is associated only with the number of points obtained in the unified state exam. The real help from a silver medal upon admission is only in the advantage of a student over another student without a medal with the same number of USE scores.

With the current state of affairs in Russian schools, receiving a medal does not give a student anything, except for the status of a medalist. But for the prestige of the school, teachers, the number of medalists released is still important. The school administration is always striving to increase the number of silver and gold medalists.

In connection with this situation, it was even supposed to cancel the presentation of gold and silver medals to schoolchildren, but after discussion it was decided that there should still be medalists in schools.

Things are a little different in Ukrainian schools. The silver medalist is awarded 200 additional points, which are so necessary for admission, which helped to increase the prestige of excellent studies, on the one hand, and the appearance of "fake" medalists, on the other.

The silver school graduate medal, like the gold medal, has been awarded for more than 50 years. Initially, the medals did indeed consist of real silver and real gold, but since 1954 alloys began to be used in the manufacture of medals, and after 1960 the name of the medals became purely symbolic. They are made mainly from an alloy of copper and nickel, and coated with a colorless varnish that prevents the metal from darkening. The medal is awarded for "Special Achievement in Teaching".

If you have set yourself the goal of getting a silver medal at school, then it would be nice to know under what conditions it is issued.

Conditions for obtaining a silver medal

How should schoolchildren applying for a silver medal study, how many fours can they have in their certificate?

Under the new rules, a silver medal can be received by any student of a Russian school who:

in grades 10 and 11 will have no more than two fours in each semester and at the end of each year;
and pass the exam not below the minimum threshold.

The conditions for obtaining a silver medal and the status of a medalist for Ukrainian schoolchildren are somewhat different.

To receive a silver medal, the school requirements are:

a student for the period of study in grades 10, 11 can have 8 points in no more than two subjects according to the results for the semester, for the year and according to the results of the state final certification;
all other marks should be 10-12 points.

The decision on whether a particular graduate will receive a medal or not is made at a joint meeting of the school council and the teachers' council. After approval by the local education authority, the decision is approved by the principal of the school.

Getting a silver medal at school, what needs to be done for this?

If you decide to seek a silver or gold medal, then:

Even if receiving a silver medal at school does not give the student any advantage in admission, it will give him the status of a student with extraordinary abilities (which can come in handy when). The name of the student will always adorn the list of medalists in the school annals.

What is the essence of the gold award for the successful completion of school

This is what a modern gold medal looks like

The medal for excellence in learning has been awarded since 1828. During this period, the award has undergone both external and procedural changes. For modern graduates, the medal is issued with the coat of arms of Russia and an enamel ribbon in the colors of the state flag on the obverse. On the reverse, it is indicated that the award was issued "For special achievements in education." The certificate of the medalist is made with gold stamping. Since 2014, the medal has not been awarded at the federal level, but the regions retain the right to encourage excellent students in this way.

Award conditions

Ball of medalists

A gold medal at school is probably the first cherished trophy that students dream of. However, over the years of study, someone is progressively striding towards his goal, and someone puts up with the fact that stable high marks are not his forte and are looking for how to express themselves in other areas of school life. Both those and others have the right to their own path, which by no means guarantees a cloudless future.

It is interesting. According to statistics, it is most difficult to earn a gold medal on Sakhalin - every 596th student receives a trophy. For comparison: in the Stavropol Territory, every 29th graduate becomes the owner of the award "For Special Achievement in Education".

So, in what case can a student count on a high reward after receiving a complete secondary education?

If for grades 10 and 11 in all subjects he has high final grades. Previously, the requirement was tougher - a high score was required not only in final grades, but also in semester and annual grades. Therefore, it is now easier to get a gold medal.
If the pedagogical council of teachers of the educational institution decided to reward the graduate, and on its basis, as well as on the basis of the order of the school director, the administration of the educational institution agreed on the issue with the apparatus of the local education department.
If the candidate is not studying externally.

What will additionally help to get a medal

A gold medal is a worthy reward for hard work in teaching

The main condition for receiving a high award for academic achievement, of course, is the final grade of "five" in all subjects of the school cycle. But there are also a number of requirements that will help schoolchildren become the owner of the coveted trophy at the graduation ball:

Active social position in the life of the educational institution. The fact is that the decision to award is first made by the pedagogical council of the school on the basis of the academic work and personal qualities of the candidate. Therefore, it is very important to engage in extracurricular activities (subject olympiads, conferences, competitions, KVN-mi, etc.).
Over the past two academic years, the student has not had recertifications in subjects in order to improve the score.
The student studied the entire volume of the school curriculum in person. However, exemption for physical education for health reasons is allowed.
The candidate for the medal was not exempted from the final attestation.

Benefits of medalists

To date, medalists participate in the introductory campaign on equal terms

For many years, receiving a gold medal meant benefits when entering a university: an applicant was admitted to any educational institution on the basis of an interview. Since 2009, a law has been adopted on equal conditions for enrolling in universities based on the average score, which is the sum of the score of the certificate and the scores obtained when passing the USE. The medal is just an advantage if the average grade is the same for several applicants. Since 2015, this condition has acquired additional value, since enrollment in a university occurs after the applicant has submitted the original documents on graduation. That is, if earlier a former student first assessed his place in the ranking of universities, and then determined in which of them he would study, now the graduate is forced to play blindly. In this case, of course, the presence of a medal provides a kind of insurance in case applicants have the same score.

The medal "For Special Achievement in Education" loses its advantages over the years, but in any case remains an important incentive for learning at school. After all, the desire to be the first, the best, is laid down in childhood, and this forms ambitions that help to achieve success in adulthood.
