This morning, May 11, more than 11,000 candidates nationwide took the 2024 competency assessment exam of Hanoi National University of Education to "compete" for a place in the teaching profession. Compared to last year, the number of candidates taking the exam increased nearly 2.5 times.
Teaching exam follows parents' profession
Present at the Hanoi National University of Education exam site from 6 a.m., Doan Nhat Minh and Dinh Minh Anh, 12th grade students at Bac Duyen Ha High School, Thai Binh province, said that they both took a bus from Thai Binh to Hanoi a day before the exam, then rented a house near the school to attend the Hanoi National University of Education's competency assessment exam.
Both Minh and Anh chose to take the teacher training exam because they were inspired by their mothers who are teachers.
Minh said he registered to take four subjects, including math, literature, English and history, to get the results for admission to the majors of literature and history pedagogy at Hanoi National University of Education.
"Basically, I just review the knowledge I learned in class, combined with a firm grasp of the reference questions, I am quite confident in my learning method. My mother is a secondary school literature teacher, and my parents have also oriented me to become a teacher from an early age," Minh shared.

Similarly, Bui Cao Nhat Tam, a 12th grade student at My Duc B High School, Hanoi, said he did not choose hot majors such as economics or information technology because he loved his father's teaching career.
"My father is a high school math teacher. Since I was little, I wanted to follow my father's career of holding a pen and chalk. When I was in high school, I started to build a review plan to pursue this career," Tam said.
In this exam, Tam took three subjects, including math, chemistry, and English, to get the results for admission to the math and English pedagogy majors. Tam shared that she chose to take the competency assessment exam to reduce pressure and avoid the high competition rate in the upcoming high school graduation exam.
"I have prepared quite well for this competency assessment exam. The exam questions are not much different from the high school graduation exam, except for the addition of an essay section. I think the structure of the exam is quite good, it assesses multiple choice thinking, quick test-taking, and interpretive thinking suitable for teachers," Tam said.
This year, Hanoi National University of Education organizes exams at 3 locations, including Hanoi, Da Nang and Quy Nhon.
Of which, Hanoi has 281 exam rooms (11,125 candidates), Da Nang has 5 exam rooms (243 candidates), Quy Nhon has 5 exam rooms (169 candidates).
The structure of the competency assessment tests and the content of the tests correspond to and are consistent with the content of high school subjects and exams that students are familiar with; candidates take the test directly on paper.
The exam took place in only one day with 5 sessions from 7:15 to 17:15, eight subjects including math, literature, physics, chemistry, biology, English, history, geography. In the photo: candidates review their lessons before entering the exam room - Photo: NGUYEN BAO
The paper test shows part of the candidate's personality.
Dr. Tran Ba Trinh, head of the training department of Hanoi National University of Education and a member of the exam steering committee, said that since May 10, parents and candidates have come to the school to learn about exam locations, exam rooms, and find accommodation for their children. The school has arranged some rooms in the dormitory for candidates in remote areas who have difficulty finding accommodation.
According to Mr. Trinh, candidates participating in the Hanoi National University of Education's competency assessment exam come from all over the country, from Lao Cai, Yen Bai to Kien Giang, Ca Mau... In which, the Quy Nhon University exam site attracts candidates from 10 neighboring provinces to participate.

"Each exam has a different assessment goal and purpose of using the assessment results. Writing on paper is not only because of the essay part but also shows handwriting, drawing pictures, drawing graphs, tables... showing part of the personality and carefulness of the candidates.
Because in the future you will be teachers, the school still wants to train you to use pen and chalk to write down your own thoughts and arguments. If there are no special changes, the school will still maintain this written exam format," said Mr. Trinh.
