After the verification and working process, the representative of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training has just announced that it is expected that by the end of this afternoon, the Department will announce a plan to handle the case of the 10th grade math exam being printed blurry, causing misunderstandings among candidates, in the spirit of ensuring maximum rights and fairness for students.
On the same morning, about 30 parents of students went to the Hanoi Department of Education and Training to submit a petition regarding the incident where the math exam for public grade 10 yesterday (June 11) was printed blurry, leading to candidates making mistakes (the dash was broken in the fraction 2/x-3, causing candidates to understand it as -(2/x-3).
Parents point out printing errors in 10th grade math exam.
Mr. Tran Manh Tung, a math teacher in Hanoi, frankly commented that the first mistake that led to the mistake in the math exam questions for grade 10 in Hanoi was due to the candidates. If the students read the exam carefully, they would see that the numerator and denominator must be in the middle of the horizontal mark, but they did not observe the exam carefully and made the mistake.
The second error is the part of the exam printing department. Normally, for the 10th grade entrance exam in Hanoi, the exam is printed in groups of 5-10 schools in the area. According to the regulations, after printing the sample, the person in charge must check it once to avoid errors, before pressing the print button in bulk.
If this question is omitted, it means that 2 points will be removed from the total score for the 10th grade entrance exam this year (Math score multiplied by 2). Meanwhile, just a difference of half a point is enough to decide whether the candidate passes or fails, so it is understandable that the candidates and parents are upset.
"To avoid disadvantages for candidates, the Department of Education and Training should organize marking according to both plus and minus signs. Candidates who give correct answers will still be marked as usual. Regardless of the question, the candidate's ability will still be assessed," said Mr. Tung.
Agreeing with Mr. Nguyen Viet Tien, a Math teacher at Xuan Son Secondary School, Son Tay Town, Hanoi, he said that in part 1, the three dashes of the fraction were blurred, causing confusion as the minus sign "-" and that the incident happened in some examination councils, not the whole city.
To ensure the rights of candidates, the Department of Education and Training needs to quickly verify and come up with the best solution. “In case a candidate cannot do the test, no points will be given or points will be given to the extent that they are correct. If a candidate does the test according to the question but misunderstands it but is correct, full points should still be given to that test. The Department of Education and Training needs to have the most reasonable solution for students, because this is a very fierce test that is of interest to candidates, parents and society,” Mr. Tien suggested.
Previously, right after candidates completed the Math exam - the final exam for admission to public 10th grade yesterday afternoon (June 11), many parents and candidates were upset and complained that the 10th grade Math exam was blurred and printed in poor quality, causing students to misunderstand, resulting in incorrect answers and losing points.
In question 3, point 1 requires candidates to solve the equation. Because the ink is not clear, the dash is broken, causing students to mistakenly see it as -2. Some exam sites reported to have the above phenomenon include Tran Dang Ninh Secondary School, Nguyen Van Cu High School, Yen Thuong Secondary School, Duong Xa High School, Dan Phuong High School, and Quang Trung - Dong Da High School.
The test paper had a blurred dash, causing candidates to mistake it for a minus sign (left) and a standard test (right). The information was quickly shared on many educational forums. This morning (June 12), many parents went to the Department of Education and Training to complain about the incident.
