Only half of the ninth graders will be admitted to the tenth grades of Yekaterinburg schools.
In Yekaterinburg, schools plan to admit only half of the graduates from the ninth grade into the tenth grade in 2026. A corresponding document has already been published on the city administration's website.
According to this data, there are currently 701 ninth-grade classes in schools, with 19,436 students enrolled. It is planned to open 333 tenth-grade classes, with 9,283 vacant places in them. Students will be distributed among classes with natural science, humanities, socio-economic, technological, and universal profiles. The greatest emphasis is placed on the technological profile, while the least is on the universal one. Almost everywhere, admission is conducted through individual selection. The others are expected to attend colleges and technical schools.
At the same time, parents told the EAN publication that the competitions for secondary educational institutions are tough. A Yekaterinburg resident stated that during an open house at one of the colleges, it was announced that the average score of the certificate for admission to the programming direction should be at least 4.8 for budget places and 4.6 for paid education.
According to EAN, last year, 18,506 students graduated from the ninth grade, and 9,375 were admitted to the tenth grade. This means that half of the students also did not make it to the tenth grade.
