THE 2025 LITERATURE EXAM MATERIAL WILL CERTAINLY BE DIFFERENT
At the meeting, reporters raised the issue that the information about this year's literature exam not being leaked/leaked was only an assertion by the exam committee. So will the Ministry of Education and Training continue to coordinate with the Ministry of Public Security to verify and clarify this in the future?
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ha, Deputy Director of the Department of Quality Management, Ministry of Education and Training, Head of this year's exam committee, affirmed: "There is no such thing as leaked literature exam questions. For literature, if there is a leak/leakage of questions, there must be duplicate excerpts and duplicate questions. But with the information we have, we affirm that this is not the case."
Candidates happily completed the 2024 high school graduation exam, the final exam under the 2006 General Education Program.
Not satisfied with this answer, Thanh Nien reporters asked the leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training and the representative of the Ministry of Public Security to chair a press conference to answer further because Mr. Ha was only a representative of the exam question board. Major General Tran Dinh Chung, Director of Department A03 (Ministry of Public Security), said that after receiving the information, the Ministry of Public Security worked with the person who created the clip revealing the exam questions. This person admitted to creating false information and committed to voluntarily removing it. Therefore, there is a basis to affirm that there is no need to further investigate this case.
"However, to take preventive measures, we have to wait until the exam results are available. If we discover any unusual issues, we will coordinate with the 2024 High School Graduation Exam Steering Committee to investigate, draw conclusions, and provide information to the public," said Mr. Chung.
According to Mr. Pham Ngoc Thuong, Deputy Minister of Education and Training, Head of the National Steering Committee for the High School Graduation Exam, there is sufficient basis to confirm that the literature exam questions were not leaked, and the content of the exam questions does not match the content posted online. Through the process of marking, reviewing the exam papers, and comparing, if anything related to the exam questions is discovered, we will continue to coordinate, according to the functions of the Ministry and the functions of the security agency.
Regarding concerns about the literature exam, Mr. Thuong said: "The literature material of 2025 will certainly be different from the program implemented in 2024. Firstly, for candidates taking the exam in 2025, we will implement a program with many textbooks, so the material will be in many different textbooks. Secondly, the material may be completely outside of those textbooks. Because the goal of the program is to develop students' qualities and abilities, not to memorize lessons or follow textbooks. Therefore, it also limits rote learning, lopsided learning, limits guessing questions, and limits following sample texts."
The press conference to conclude the 2024 high school graduation exam held by the Ministry of Education and Training yesterday afternoon received many opinions surrounding the exam questions.
Does the Ministry still need to organize high school graduation exams ?
Mr. Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management, Ministry of Education and Training, said that the current high school graduation exam is carried out according to the Law on Education, at the same time implementing Resolution 29 of the Central Committee, Resolution 88 of the National Assembly and directive documents of the Government and the Prime Minister. Accordingly, the high school graduation exam has 3 goals: First, to consider graduation. Second, to evaluate the teaching and learning process on a large scale. Third, on the basis of autonomy according to the Law on Higher Education, universities use the results of the high school graduation exam as the basis for admission. According to statistics of recent years, it shows that there are still fluctuations from 45 - 65% of university quotas using the results of the high school graduation exam.
"The exam questions are increasingly oriented towards capacity, with increasing differentiation, so that many schools with high requirements can still use high school exam results as a basis for admission. We believe that this is an exam that has been invested in and received attention from the whole society, so we must ensure the goals. In particular, the organization of the exam is in accordance with the law and regulations of the state," said Mr. Chuong.
PROPOSAL FOR UNIVERSITIES TO INCREASE ADMISSION QUOTAS BASED ON GRADUATION EXAM SCORES
Mr. Pham Ngoc Thuong emphasized that the innovation of the 2025 exam must ensure factors of reducing pressure and costs for society while still ensuring reliability to obtain admission results to universities, colleges, and vocational education. "With the announced 2025 exam method, it is clear that we have reduced the number of subjects, which means reducing pressure, reducing time, reducing costs while still ensuring reliability. As for university admissions, according to the law, schools are autonomous in choosing their own methods. Therefore, we will gradually increase the differentiation in the exam questions," Mr. Thuong analyzed.
Mr. Thuong affirmed that up to now, about 65% of the university quota is still based on this high school graduation exam. This will greatly reduce costs for society, especially for students, especially students in remote areas who do not have the conditions to travel or the economic conditions to take many exams but still have the opportunity to be admitted to universities and colleges as desired. "We will advise the Party Executive Committee and the Minister to also request universities and colleges to study, consider and increase this rate. Of course, it must be in harmony with the autonomy of universities," said Mr. Thuong.
No high-tech fraud detected
Mr. Huynh Van Chuong said that during the entire exam, 30 candidates violated the exam regulations and were suspended from the exam for using documents and bringing phones into the exam room. This number in 2023 is 41. No staff violated the exam regulations. "Up to this point, there have been no recorded negative phenomena or organized cheating nationwide," Mr. Chuong said.
Major General Tran Dinh Chung said that so far, no cases of high-tech use have been detected. Before the exam, the police force organized training and instructed exam supervisors in localities to recognize the methods, tricks and types of equipment that candidates could use. At the same time, local police also checked and inspected places posting advertisements for buying and selling high-tech equipment.
Math questions in Dak Lak are printed blurry, what does the Ministry of Education and Training say?
In Dak Lak, the high school graduation exam for math subject 119 was printed blurry and had incorrect symbols in some questions. The province proposed to give maximum score if the candidates were affected. Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong said that he had received this information and requested the Dak Lak Provincial Examination Steering Committee to review, have a specific plan and report to the National Examination Steering Committee. The general spirit is to ensure the rights of the candidates.
At a press conference held yesterday afternoon in Dak Lak province, the province proposed that candidates receive full marks for blurred questions (0.2 points) . This caused much controversy.
In a community group for students attracting about 2 million members, many opinions expressed opposition. Account LVT frankly said: "There is no such thing, 0.2 can pass or fail [your wish]".
L.D, a candidate taking the 2024 high school graduation exam in Ho Chi Minh City, commented that Dak Lak's proposal to get full marks for blurred questions was "unreasonable", because many candidates had to spend years studying just to get an extra 0.2 points. Some people said that the education leaders in Dak Lak should find a more reasonable solution to protect the rights of candidates.
Master Bui Van Cong, an online exam preparation teacher in Ho Chi Minh City, suggested that the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province assess the specific impact after the exam error incident and have detailed statistics on the wishes of candidates. In case students want to use the high school graduation exam results for university or college admission, the province can re-organize the exam for them. "In case the number of candidates in this category is too small, the Department can also consider giving points or have a more reasonable plan," said Master Cong.
