The system of assessing the knowledge of students in the Tatar school began to take shape at the end of the 19th century. The final forms of assessing the quality of knowledge – translation and final exams – were introduced. The phenomenon of “Jadidism” appeared, and a new female school began to rapidly develop on the model of the new-method male schools. As a result of the introduction of new secular subjects, programs and textbooks, the results became visible. This required new, advanced forms of assessing the quality of knowledge. The methodology and procedure for conducting public translation and final exams were similar, but their goals and objectives were different. During translation exams, the main emphasis was on checking and determining the level of quality of students’ knowledge, as well as attracting the attention of the general public to the problem of education and training of the female population. During the final exams, certain results were made, new tasks were outlined in the activities of the school and the life of graduates (new subjects were introduced; girls who showed good results were offered to continue their education in professional educational institutions). During these events, great attention was paid to identifying and solving women’s problems: upbringing, education, the role and place of women in the family and society, etc. In both cases, the material side of the issue had an important role: during the events devoted to the examinations, the material and financial base of the school was replenished, and the material situation of students and teachers improved. A rich source for studying this problem is the materials of the Tatar periodicals of the early twentieth century – the newspapers Vakyt (Vremya), Sibiriya, Tormysh (Zhizn’), Koyash (Solntse), etc. The authors cite individual articles from these newspapers.
