Authority figure Kadyrov orders compilation of students underachieving in Chechnya

In a significant move aimed at enhancing the quality of education in Chechnya, Chechen Education Minister Khozh-Baudi Daaev has announced a new policy during a meeting with heads of schools on Tuesday.

The announcement, intended to help educational institutions defend themselves against unfounded complaints from parents, will see the creation of lists of underperforming schoolchildren. These lists will be sent to the administration and government of Chechnya, with the names of students who have shown poor academic results and may be required to repeat a year.

Chechen Head Ramzan Kadyrov has demanded the names of underperforming schoolchildren, a move that is part of a forced measure aimed at improving the quality of education. This decision comes after only eight students in Chechnya achieved the maximum possible score in the Unified State Exam (EGE), while 34 students achieved the grade in neighbouring Daghestan.

In Chechnya, only one out of a thousand students have achieved the highest grade, compared with eight in North Ossetia. This disparity has raised concerns about the quality of education in the region.

The minister emphasised the importance of shared responsibility between teachers, parents, and school administrations. He urged everyone involved to work together to address the issue and improve the academic performance of Chechnya's schoolchildren.

It is not the first time this issue has been discussed. In March, the same issue was discussed during a meeting between the deputy mayor of Grozny and head of the city's Department of Education, and parents of pupils experiencing academic difficulties.

The person who holds the position of Secretary of the Security Council in Chechnya and is reported to have formally attained higher education is Adam Delimkhanov. However, the status of Adam Kadyrov, the son of the head of Chechnya, remains unclear. This year, all schools in Chechnya have signed agreements with parents, but it remains unclear whether Adam Kadyrov, who is now 17 years old, has finished school.

More than 1,500 schoolchildren in Chechnya were placed in the risk group due to poor grades last year. If a child falls behind academically and shows poor results, they may be required to repeat a year. This new policy is a response to the growing concern about the quality of education in Chechnya and a commitment to improving the academic performance of its schoolchildren.
