Department of Education and Science of the City of Moscow adopted and published the necessary regulatory legal acts in pursuance of the federal law on expanding the availability of secondary vocational education.

College education

This year, the capital’s ninth-graders, focused on acquiring practical skills, quickly realizing themselves in a profession and planning to study in college, will be able to take only two basic state exams (OGE) instead of four – in Russian language and mathematics. The certificate received on the basis of passing them is equal to the certificate issued after passing four OGEs, and gives the right to enter any college for any specialty.

This year, Moscow schoolchildren will be enrolled in all city colleges in all specialties based on their initial OGE scores in Russian and mathematics. This will ensure transparency and objectivity.

As the demand for graduates of secondary vocational education grows in the labor market, schoolchildren’s interest in studying at colleges increases. Therefore, Moscow has increased the number of budget places in city colleges by 10 thousand – up to 37 thousand. For the first time, a guarantee for every Moscow ninth-grader for a free place in a capital institution of secondary vocational education is being introduced by law.

Going to college is a unique opportunity to get a secondary general education at the same time as a sought-after profession. You can learn more about this at website Here.

Graduation from college is one of the ways to obtain higher education in the future. You can enter a university by taking internal exams of the institution for applicants with secondary vocational education, and also by passing the Unified State Exam (USE) to participate in the general competition. Free city courses are organized at colleges to prepare for it.

To take advantage of the opportunity to take only two mandatory exams, you must change your choice of OGE from four to two subjects on the mos.ru portal before May 15.

The college admissions campaign will begin at the end of June. Graduates will be able to apply simultaneously for five specialties either in one educational institution or distribute the choice between several colleges. The entire document submission procedure is available in electronic format on the mos.ru portal.

Successful employment

The capital’s colleges are modern educational spaces where schoolchildren become sought-after specialists, and in some industries even outpace university graduates in terms of employment speed. Most students begin working while still studying: 95 percent of graduates successfully find employment in their chosen specialty. This result became possible due to a complete transformation of the approach to student training. More than half of the programs are designed taking into account the needs of future employers, and almost 70 percent of the study time is devoted to practical classes.

Moscow colleges closely cooperate with more than three thousand employers – leaders in their industries. Among them are large industrial enterprises, factories, gastronomic holdings, IT companies, professional associations and communities.

By increasing the intensity of training, its duration is reduced: starting from the 2025 academic year, most training programs are designed for three years and include obtaining several professions at the same time. Thus, college graduates become more competitive in the labor market.

To ensure a high level of education, the capital’s colleges are systematically improving their material base. They are actively modernizing and equipping college workshops and laboratories: to date, 70 percent of the equipment has been updated, and by the end of 2027, the renovation of workshops and laboratories will be fully completed.

Opened in October 2024 flagship center practical training of Moscow colleges in the Rudnevo industrial park. This is the first site for in-depth practical training of personnel in industrial specialties in accordance with the requests of residents of the Technopolis Moscow special economic zone and other Moscow enterprises. More than three thousand students from 15 Moscow colleges study here annually. In 2025, two more such sites will open – Pechatniki and Yug. The educational capacity of the three centers will allow training 20 thousand people annually.

In the coming years, seven new colleges with a total area of over 400,000 square meters will appear in Moscow, where over 60,000 students will be able to study. The Moscow Technological College is currently undergoing major repairs, as well as the Moscow College of Management, Hotel Business and Information Technology “Tsaritsyno”.

Education in schools

For those who plan to continue their education in the 10th grade, nothing changes. You need to pass the OGE in four subjects: Russian language, mathematics and two elective subjects and score a minimum number of points, which each school determines independently. Upon scoring the minimum required passing score, the school is obliged to enroll the student in the 10th grade if he or she has completed the ninth grade.

If a ninth-grade graduate wants to improve his OGE results, the city provides him with an additional opportunity to take two free tests at the Moscow Center for Education Quality and present the results for enrollment in the 10th grade. If they have improved, the school is obliged to accept the graduate.
