At the press conference, leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training affirmed that the 2024 high school graduation exam took place seriously with the chairing of localities and the close coordination of many supporting forces.
The exam has reduced pressure.
Nationwide, there are over 1 million candidates taking the exam, reaching from 95% to 99% of the number of candidates registered for the exam.
During the 4 exam sessions, 30 candidates violated the regulations, of which 26 candidates were suspended from the exam for bringing phones and documents into the exam room, the remaining 3 candidates received reprimands and warnings.
This number has decreased significantly compared to last year (in 2023, 41 candidates were suspended from the exam). No officials violated the regulations.
Speaking at the press conference, Mr. Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training), said that the exam is decentralized to localities for comprehensive presiding.
The Ministry of Education and Training is only responsible for issuing directives, preparing exam questions, and conducting inspections and supervision. This organization has reduced pressure on exams and increased the initiative and self-responsibility of localities.
Ministry of Education continues to deny rumors of "leaked questions"
Right after the literature exam, many candidates were excited because they "got it right". Before that, information was widespread on the internet about the exam question including the work "Dat Nuoc" (by Nguyen Khoa Diem). Some of the information discussed was said to be close to the content of the exam.
Regarding this, the Ministry of Education and Training has asked the exam council to report and affirm that "the literature exam is kept absolutely confidential".
At the press conference, answering Tuoi Tre Online about the verification process of information about "leaked exam questions", Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ha, deputy director of the Department of Quality Management, head of the exam committee, affirmed that according to the exam committee's report, there was no leaking or leaking of exam questions.

Tuoi Tre Online continued to ask: "Did the Ministry coordinate with the police to verify or did it only rely on the report of the exam committee?". Mr. Ngoc Ha said: One evidence that there was a leak would be the appearance of an exam paper that had duplicated both the language and requirements in the exam paper. But this did not happen.
Tuoi Tre Online also asked whether the construction of the literature exam for next year will use materials outside the curriculum - textbooks to reduce speculation before the exam. Mr. Pham Ngoc Thuong, Deputy Minister of Education and Training, refused to answer this question on the grounds that "the press conference was only about the 2024 exam".
After many comments from the press continued to request the Ministry of Education and Training to respond to the content raised by Tuoi Tre Online , Deputy Prime Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong said that the literature exam for the 2025 exam will use materials outside of textbooks.
At the press conference, Tuoi Tre Online also wondered about the grading of the literature exam with open questions. Will the essays expressing the candidates' personalities and different viewpoints be scored or will only the viewpoints that coincide with the viewpoints of the test makers and examiners be scored?
Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ha said that when creating the exam, he had to ensure a number of criteria, including educational orientation. However, in the open questions, "if the candidate writes correctly and convincingly, it will be considered". The answer also did not really satisfy the press's question.
Mr. Pham Ngoc Thuong also said that in social subjects in general and literature in particular, there are candidates who show creativity, going beyond the marking instructions. This can also cause difficulties for the examiners, but in reality, there are many exams that score 9 and 10, proving that the creativity of the candidates has been accepted by at least two examiners.
Previously, many candidates and teachers were concerned that candidates with very different opinions, even if reasonable, might not get points because they were contrary to the opinions of the test makers and examiners.
Exam results announced on July 17

The essay marking council will meet to agree on marking instructions before marking begins.
It is expected that at 8:00 a.m. on July 17, the Ministry of Education and Training will announce the exam results of candidates nationwide. Departments of Education and Training are responsible for considering high school graduation for candidates.

"No high-tech devices have been found to be used for cheating during the exam," Major General Tran Dinh Chung, deputy director of the Internal Political Security Department, confirmed at a press conference. Before the exam, the Ministry of Public Security reviewed the purchase and sale of high-tech devices to prevent them from a distance.
Mr. Chung also said that the police had previously investigated false rumors about the exam questions before the exam and identified the person who spread the clip. The Ministry of Public Security is ready to coordinate with the Ministry of Education and Training to verify if there is further information related to exam cheating.
