The main stage of the admission campaign to colleges has ended in Moscow. More than 37 thousand ninth-graders in the capital have chosen secondary vocational education to continue their education. This is 10 thousand more than last year. Such a high interest in secondary vocational education has been recorded for the first time. Taking this fact into account, the capital has decided to extend the admission campaign to colleges until autumn, reported Anastasia Rakova, Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Social Development.
"The main period for accepting applications for admission to Moscow colleges for this year's ninth-graders has ended. The numbers speak for themselves: more than 37 thousand Moscow ninth-graders have chosen colleges to continue their education. For comparison: last year, 27 thousand Moscow ninth-graders entered colleges. Thus, this year the number of applicants has grown by almost 40 percent. This is a record figure in recent years. This year, tenth-graders also showed interest in secondary vocational education: 1.5 thousand students who completed the 10th grade decided to enter college. The main stage of the admissions campaign is over, but we see how much interest the children show in colleges, so we have extended the application deadline until early autumn. It is very important that this year every Moscow school graduate has the opportunity not only to get a free place in a capital city college, but also a place that matches their interests. We will definitely provide all the children with the opportunity to study in the specialties or areas that are really close to them. We are very pleased that the guys choose to study at colleges. The trend in the labor market is obvious: specialists with applied skills are in great demand among employers," said Anastasia Rakova.
The most popular major among college applicants was programming ("information systems and programming"). In second place is the profession of a nurse ("nursing"), and the top three is rounded out by future primary school teachers ("teaching in primary grades").
Ninth-grade graduates are also interested in areas related to the aviation industry. The professions of security service specialist and police officer are in demand ("law enforcement activities"), popular destinations in the hotel and tourism sector ("tourism and hospitality").
This year, colleges will accept seven thousand applicants for specialties in the IT and creative industries. Another 4.3 thousand students will master industrial professions, and 4.5 thousand will prepare for work in the hospitality industry. About four thousand people will enroll in healthcare programs, and three thousand Muscovites will receive specialties related to law enforcement.
The admissions campaign for ninth-graders of previous years, eleventh-graders and applicants from other regions is ongoing in Moscow colleges. This year, applications can be submitted electronically through the portal Mos.ru for five specialties in one college or distribute them between several educational institutions. The deadline for accepting documents is August 15, and for specialties with entrance examinations – August 10.
