The director of the Sverdlovsk school commented on the incident with undressing a student at the OGE

A ninth-grader who was forced to undress during an examination at the OGE has no complaints about the school and teachers. This was stated to Izvestia by the director of school No. 16 in the city of Polevsky, Sverdlovsk region, Yulia Trushkova.

At first, the media reported that the incident with the inspection occurred at school No. 16, but the director told Izvestia that it was about another school in this city, No. 1. The students of the 16th school took the exam there.

"The child's metal detector went off, she was offered to demonstrate the absence of prohibited items, in particular, a phone, in a room separate from the other children. A member of the state examination committee was convinced of this, and the child calmly went to the exam. There was no such thing as removing bras and pants from children or forcing them to do it," said the school principal.

According to Yulia Trushkova, the student was examined not by a man, but by a woman. The girl did not consider this something out of the ordinary and did not tell the teachers about it, but shared it in a conversation with a friend. No complaints have been received from the parents about the incident.

The director assured that this was an isolated incident during the exams, the rest of the children, according to her, went through the framework normally. The principal did not confirm the case of another student who was allegedly forced to take off his pants while passing through a metal detector to prove that he had come without a phone.

"Now all the information has been received and brought to the head of the Department of Education. All those responsible will be punished," the director said.
