It's being said that science olympiad tests have been sold

The second stage of the main subject Olympiad for schoolchildren - district (city) - began on October 14 of this year.

This stage of the Olympiad is scheduled to be held from October 14 to 23, and yesterday, October 14, the Olympiad in mathematics was held in 3 shifts.

However, the test questions prepared for the Olympiad participants were circulated on social media at 7:00 AM. According to some educators, these test questions were sold for 800 thousand soums on the morning of October 14. In the second half of the day, the cost of test questions decreased to 200,000 soums.

It became known that the test questions for mathematics for 10th grades were traditionally published on the official Telegram page of the Center for Subject Olympiads under the Agency of Specialized Educational Institutions at 15:58 after the end of the Olympiad process.

After that, the teachers compared these tests with the tests that circulated on social networks in the morning and saw that they were exactly the same test questions.

One of the teachers who sent a video message to the Center for Science Olympiads on social networks expressed their objections that if transparency is not ensured, the Olympiad should not be held again, and tried to prove that the test questions were indeed disseminated before the start of the Olympiad process.

"At 11:14, he's arriving at our group: 'Let's do the key to this, he's in the group, it's 10th grade,' he said. But if you look at the questions, the screenshot was taken at 7:00. At 7:00, those same 10th-grade questions have already reached someone's hands and been distributed through screenshots.

- "In the morning, the questions were sold for 800 thousand, now they've dropped to 200 thousand.

- The Olympics are always like this.

- Who distributed the answers?

- Distributed by the creators.

- That's why I haven't been training students for two years.

Is there anyone who can explain this? Won't students lose confidence in education, in this Olympiad? If you are brave, admit it and cancel the results of this Olympiad and hold another Olympiad.

If you can't do it, please don't bother us or the students. "Give the seats to those who have connections, knowledge, and money," said the teacher, who sent a video message to the Center for Science Olympiads.

A post about the sale of subject Olympiad tests was also posted on the Telegram channel "School of Talents." It states that the test questions were sold for 200,000 soums.

"The district Olympiad is taking place today. We hear that test questions were sold for 200,000 soums. Today, some students receive a trip to the region for 200 thousand. A very sad situation. Every year, certain actions are taken to prevent this. But rice doesn't exist without weeds," the post reads.

So far, the Center for Science Olympiads has not issued an official statement about the violation of the principles of transparency and fairness in the Olympiad process and the distribution of test questions.

However, the Center repeatedly reminded that in case of violation of the principles of justice during the Olympiad, it is possible to contact the Center's @Murojaat_FOM_bot or call +998 71 207 05 24, and reminded that appeals will be considered in the prescribed manner, and appropriate measures will be taken to ensure justice and transparency based on their results.

We believe that the Science Olympiad Center will promptly study this situation in detail and, if the situation is confirmed, will take measures to cancel the results in all districts (cities) where mathematics was conducted on October 14 and hold the Olympiad again.
