Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son said that to create fairness, the ministry is considering reducing the rate of early admission or eliminating the early admission form altogether.
Deputy Minister of Education and Training Hoang Minh Son said the ministry will consider reducing the rate or even eliminating the early admission method.
According to Mr. Son, early admission appeared 6-7 years ago from some training institutions. Around 2017, it started from a training institution that offered early admission based on academic records, achievements and other forms. After that, other training institutions "like a race, rushed into a fierce competition".
Training institutions must prepare from the beginning of the year for enrollment and application collection. Students in grade 12 run around to get certificates to complete their applications; high schools and teachers must confirm for this enrollment.
"Everyone is working hard but the results are not high. According to the data, out of 8 candidates who passed the early admission exam, only 2 students want to study. In other words, for every 2 candidates who passed the early admission exam, only 1 student enrolls because on average 1 student has 4 choices," said Mr. Son.
Early admission is both unfair and creates "virtual candidates"
According to the leader of the Ministry of Education and Training, when considering early admission, each school does it independently. When the Ministry of Education and Training conducts a general admission for candidates to choose their wishes for schools and majors, "virtual candidates" are born.
In addition, each school and each industry cannot predict the virtual candidates, leading to schools wanting to consider early admission to meet the quota, having more early admission quotas, leading to uncertain determination of quotas and admission scores. Usually, the admission score is lowered to have more successful candidates.
This is the reason why the incorrect prediction of the admission rate causes great damage, and at the same time, there is no basis leading to the benchmark scores in the main admission period of some majors skyrocketing, creating unfair scores.
"From the injustice leading to the quality not being guaranteed, there were students with 25 points who were likely to be admitted, but then the standard score was raised to 26 points because some students were admitted through early admission," said Mr. Hoang Minh Son.
Another fact is that because of early admission, many students who have not completed the 12th grade high school program rush into university admission, which also leads to unfairness. Students who are qualified have studied the program in advance from the first semester, while all students will not complete the high school program until May.
Besides, the negative impact is that many students have the mentality that once they are admitted, they no longer care about the high school curriculum. Some students just sit around in class or don't come to class anymore because they know they are admitted.
Even some students who are admitted to grade 10 of specialized schools are confident of being admitted to university and they only focus on studying what they like, lacking comprehensiveness in the training process later on.
According to Deputy Minister Son, the Ministry of Education and Training believes that by adjusting and controlling this ratio, only students with outstanding abilities will be admitted directly or considered for early admission. The rest will take part in the Ministry's main exam.
With a limit of 20% of the early admission quota, the admission rate is about 5-7%, and candidates focus on equal admission. "Many experts and admissions officers have suggested eliminating early admission. The ministry will consider this and consider whether to shorten this rate or eliminate early admission to create fairness," said Deputy Minister Son.
