Astrakhan Literature-Versed Schoolchildren Get Together at ASU

Today, Astrakhan State University is holding the regional stage of the All-Russia Literature Competition for Schoolchildren. More than 100 children of the 9-11th grades are competing at our university for the right to participate in the final stage.

Before that, the children from all secondary comprehensive educational institutions of our region, the Cossack Cadet Corps, Astrakhan Technical School, Linguistic and Orthodox schools successfully passed the in-school and municipal stages. Completing the regional-level tasks requires in-depth knowledge that is not provided by the school programme. Participants have five hours to complete the literature competition tasks.

Those who will get the maximum scoring will represent the region in the final of the all-Russia competition.

Certificates of the winners and awardees of the final stage of the All-Russia Literature Competition for Schoolchildren are supported with cash prizes. Certificates of the competition are valid for four years and allow their holders, having a certificate of secondary general education, to enter any specialized university of Russia without any entrance examinations.
