Organizing the annual high school graduation exam is a difficult and complicated task that requires careful preparation from the direction, promulgation of regulations to the organization of the exam. At the end of the 2024-2025 school year, the high school graduation exam will be organized for the first time according to the 2018 GeneralEducation Program with the policy of one program and many sets of textbooks, posing many challenges, requiring careful preparation to ensure effectiveness.
According to the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET), in recent years, the high school graduation exam has been conducted in the spirit of clearly defining the State management responsibilities of the MOET and the implementation responsibilities of localities and educational institutions. The exam has achieved all three set goals: Meeting the requirements for considering recognition of high school graduation; analyzing and comparing results data to improve the quality of teaching and learning; and having reliability as a basis for admission consideration.
According to statistics from the Ministry of Education and Training, the number of candidates taking the high school graduation exam in 2020 is more than 900,000; from 2021 to 2024, each year there will be more than one million candidates taking the exam. Despite the participation of the entire political system, the reality of the exam in recent years has shown many shortcomings, especially the lack of specialized experts, so the education sector has had to mobilize teachers and lecturers from educational institutions to both teach and review and participate in the work of building the question bank and creating exam questions, leading to difficulties in ensuring independence and transparency, raising concerns in public opinion about the objectivity of the work of building the question bank to create exam questions for exams.
Professor, Dr. Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training) said that at the end of the 2024-2025 school year, the high school graduation exam will be organized according to the 2018 general education program to properly assess the learning outcomes of learners, the goals and standards that need to be achieved according to requirements; use the exam results to consider recognizing high school graduation and serve as one of the bases for assessing the quality of teaching and learning; provide reliable data for universities and vocational education institutions to use in enrollment in the spirit of autonomy. The exam will closely follow the program's goals; the exam questions will be in the direction of strengthening the assessment of capacity, in accordance with the regulations and roadmap for implementing the 2018 General Education Program. Each candidate will take four subjects, including two compulsory subjects: Literature, Mathematics and two elective subjects from the subjects in grade 12; Literature will be tested in essay form; the remaining subjects will be tested in multiple choice form.
To ensure the exam work and build a question bank for the high school graduation exam from 2025 in an open direction, in line with the policy of one program and many textbooks, the Ministry of Education and Training has deployed two training sessions for teachers nationwide and mobilized the entire industry to build exam questions and exam papers for 18 subjects.
Notably, the Ministry of Education and Training has announced 18 reference questions that ensure compliance with regulations on the structure and format of high school graduation exams from 2025, closely following the 2018 General Education Program and focusing mainly on the 12th grade curriculum...
Regarding the exam regulations, the organization will collect social opinions to issue them soon, deploy technical training for localities early and remotely; deploy and complete the exam organization software systems and test them widely, check and evaluate security and safety before putting them into use...
Not only the Ministry of Education and Training but also localities have closely directed educational institutions to strengthen teaching and learning activities, organize many large-scale assessments, many mock exams to practice skills, supplement knowledge to approach the new exam direction. Deputy Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training Pham Quoc Toan said that in preparation for the high school graduation exam from 2025, the Hanoi education sector has strongly implemented the movement "Schools join hands to develop, teachers share responsibility" to spread and share experiences in teaching methods, organizing learning between schools, districts and districts, districts and districts; calling on key teachers of inner-city schools to support direct or online teaching for students of suburban schools. High schools also conduct quality surveys for 12th and 11th graders to analyze and evaluate the survey results and soon have review solutions to prepare for the High School Graduation Exam this year for 12th graders and the following year for 11th graders. The 2025 High School Graduation Exam sample questions announced by the Ministry of Education and Training are determined to be the basis for organizing teaching and learning instructions and testing, assessment, and review for students...
Meanwhile, the Department of Education and Training of Lang Son required schools to implement plans for teaching and learning, reviewing, testing, and evaluating students to ensure quality and meet the requirements of the 2018 General Education Program. The Department also organized training to improve the capacity of teachers of all subjects on techniques for building test and evaluation question banks to meet the requirements of the 2018 General Education Program and orientation for high school graduation exams from 2025 right from the beginning of the 2024-2025 school year.
According to Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong, 2025 is the first year of implementation of the 2018 General Education Program, so all work related to the exam, from direction, professional activities to inspection, before, during, after the exam... need to be carried out carefully with higher requirements than in previous years. Therefore, the Departments of Education and Training need to direct the organization of professional activities in schools to closely follow the requirements of regular inspection and assessment; at the same time, pay attention to selecting and sending qualified and capable teachers to participate in building the exam question bank. For relevant agencies, it is necessary to study and seriously implement Directive No. 37/CT-TTg dated October 7, 2024 of the Prime Minister on strengthening the direction and coordination of organizing the high school graduation exam and university and vocational education admissions in 2025. Ensure the organization of the exam in a way that reduces pressure, reduces costs, and is less costly for candidates, families and society; ensure reliability, honesty, and correct assessment of students' abilities, and use exam results to consider recognition of high school graduation; serve as a basis for evaluating the teaching and learning process in schools and localities; provide reliable and honest data for universities and vocational education institutions to use in enrollment work.
