The second professional test stage has been completed

Professional computer-based testing of orphanage graduates conducted annually in two stages has been completed this year.

The first test stage conducted last autumn for 9-11-year pupils of sponsored orphanages using a computer programme “Proforientator” developed specially by the Moscow State University named after Lomonosov has become a starting point on the way to solve a problem related to selection of a future profession. In addition to identification of abilities and skills of graduates, the programme has given recommendations for elimination of gaps in knowledge on liberal arts.

The second stage organized in several months was focused on verification of the results of the independent self-cultivation work performed by children. The results were good – most children showed again their preferences in job selection, and during that period many children managed to improve their level of knowledge.
