Solution
Hello,
By order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated September 18, 2013 No. 1074, the previously issued order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated February 25, 2010 No. 140 “On approval of the Regulations on medals “For special achievements in learning” was declared invalid.
Currently, according to the provisions of Part 10 of Art. 34 Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, persons who have completed the development of educational programs of secondary general education, have successfully passed the state final certification and having final grades of "excellent" in all academic subjects studied in accordance with the curriculum, the educational organization, simultaneously with the issuance of the corresponding document on education, awards the medal “For special achievements in learning.”
As far as I understand, the procedure for awarding silver medals is not provided for by federal legislation.
However, in accordance with clause 26, part 1, art. 34 Federal Law “On Education in the Russian Federation”, the academic right of students to be rewarded for success in educational, physical education, sports, social, scientific, scientific and technical, creative, experimental and innovative activities is implemented through the establishment of such incentives at the level of educational organizations by relevant local regulations . Such encouragement could be the awarding of a medal from an educational organization for academic success.
In addition, various measures to encourage students can be provided at the level of constituent entities of the Russian Federation or municipalities, including as part of the implementation of the provisions provided for in Part 4 of Art. 77 of Federal Law No. 273-FZ the rights of state authorities of constituent entities of the Russian Federation and local governments to establish special monetary incentives for persons who have demonstrated outstanding abilities, and other incentive measures for these persons.

Solution
Good afternoon
From 2014, school graduates will no longer be awarded medals. In accordance with Order of the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation dated September 18, 2013 No. 1074, instead, the Ministry of Education will issue graduates with a certificate with honors. It will be available to 11th grade students who have successfully passed their final exams and received final A grades in all subjects.
However, don't despair!!!
Federal government bodies in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation or local governments have the right to establish special bonuses and other types of incentives for distinguished graduates. This norm is prescribed in the Law “On Education”. And many regions have already announced that they intend to preserve the tradition of awarding gold and silver medals to school graduates, abolished at the federal level.
Regional gold and silver medals for school graduates will be established in the Ulyanovsk region - you can read more about this on the official website of the Governor and Government of the ULYANOVSK REGION http://ulgov.ru/news/regional/24012014/32114/
All the best!

The medal “For Special Achievement in Education” is a badge of honor for graduates of 11th grade who received a final “5” in all subjects of the school curriculum in the last two years of study. More recently, the gold medal “For special achievements in learning” opened the doors of all universities, but in recent years its prestige has significantly lost ground.
What is the essence of the gold award for successful completion of school?
This is what a modern gold medal looks like
The medal for excellent academic achievement has been awarded since 1828. During this period, the award underwent both external and regulatory 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. The reverse indicates that the award was issued “For special achievements in learning.” The medalist's certificate is embossed in gold. Since 2014, the medal has not been awarded at the federal level, but regions retain the right to reward excellent students in this way.
Award conditions
Medalists' Ball
A gold medal at school is probably the first cherished trophy that students dream of. However, over the years of study, some progressively move towards their goal, while others come to terms with the fact that stable high grades are not their strong point and are looking for how to express themselves in other areas of school life. Both have the right to their own path, which by no means guarantees a cloudless future.
This is interesting. According to statistics, the most difficult place to earn a gold medal is in Sakhalin - every 596th student receives a trophy. For comparison: in the Stavropol Territory, every 29th graduate becomes the owner of the award “For Special Achievements in Education”.
So, in what case can a student count on a high reward after completing secondary education?
- If he has high final grades in all subjects in grades 10 and 11. Previously, the requirement was stricter - a high score was required not only in final grades, but also in semester and annual grades. Therefore, nowadays it is easier to get a gold medal.
- If the pedagogical council of teachers of the educational institution decided to award 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 staff of the local education department.
- If the candidate is not studying externally.
What additional help will you get a medal?
A gold medal is a worthy reward for work in education
The main condition for receiving a high award for academic success, of course, is a 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 party:
- Active public position in the life of the educational institution. The fact is that the decision on the award is first made by the school’s pedagogical council 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, etc.).
- Over the past two academic years, the student has not had recertifications in subjects to improve his score.
- The student studied the entire scope of the school curriculum in person. However, exemption from physical education due to health reasons is allowed.
- The candidate for the medal was not exempt from the final certification.
Advantages of medalists
Today, 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 accepted into any educational institution based on an interview. Since 2009, a law has been adopted on equal conditions for enrollment in universities based on the average score, which is the sum of the certificate score and the points obtained when passing the Unified State Exam. A 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 previously a former student first assessed his place in the ranking of universities, and then determined which of them he would study at, now the graduate is forced to play “blindly.” In this case, of course, having a medal provides a kind of insurance in case the applicants have the same score.

The medal “For exceptional achievements in learning” loses its advantages over the years, but in any case remains an important incentive for studying 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.
If a student has studied at “5” and “4” since the first grade, then it will not be difficult for him to get a silver medal at school. After all, the child even develops a peculiar habit of work. The desire to acquire new knowledge in science appears in these children involuntarily. To get a silver medal, such students simply need to add more perseverance and keep the “B’s” 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 “B’s” can you get in your last years of study?” Over the last two (and in some schools three) years of study, a student who wants to receive a silver medal must have no more than two “B’s” in half a year and per year. It happens that some regional ministries of education say that in order to receive a silver medal, a student must have a maximum of two “B’s” in the last year of study, and only “A” in the 10th grade. It is not true. A child has the right to a silver medal, even if he has 1-2 “B’s” but no more) for 10th grade.
It is interesting that previously in Russia the criteria for awarding a silver medal were not so strict. In the first half of 10th grade, you could have a lot of “B’s”. And only starting from the second half of the year until graduation, it was necessary to reduce their number in half-years to one or two.
If the student was not even a good student during his studies in primary and secondary school, then in high school he will have to try and be persistent if he is determined to get a silver medal. Of course, without good mental abilities and with low academic performance for all previous years of study, a student will not be able to deservedly receive a silver medal.
If the child’s mental abilities are quite high, and poor grades for previous years of study are only the results of laziness, inattention and a frivolous attitude towards studies, 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 view of studying and devote most of your time to it, regularly completing homework in all subjects without exception. After all, a silver medal is almost as difficult as a gold one.
Few people know that in the USSR medals were awarded not only for excellent studies. The student’s behavior over 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. These are, for example, music, physical education, drawing.
Nowadays, receiving a silver medal and a special certificate directly depends not only on the student’s annual and semi-annual grades for the last two years of study. The result of the Unified State Exam is of great importance. A candidate for a medal must have satisfactory results in two main subjects, that is, the graduate must pass the minimum threshold.
Studying has never bothered anyone, and therefore it is worth striving to achieve new heights in school subjects. Receiving 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!
