In the Inspection Conclusion No. 26/KL-TTr of the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) on the direction and implementation of the enrollment regulations of the Department of Education and Training of Hai Phong City for the grading of the 10th grade entrance exam for the 2024-2025 school year, a number of "limitations, shortcomings, and violations" were pointed out.
Specifically, through checking the probability of some exams graded on June 12 and 13, the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Education and Training found that some examiners did not fully understand the regulations and made mistakes during the grading process.
In table 4 of the exam scoring report, there is no column recording the total score/number of score types, so it is difficult to compare scores when entering them, which can easily lead to risks and errors in the score entry process.
According to the working plan of the examination board on the process of making essay test papers, in step 2 of the process of making test papers, 10 papers will be combined for specialized subjects. However, when checking the specialized subject test papers bags, each bag will contain 12 papers.

Regarding the essay marking part, the inspection results showed that there was a group leader who had not assigned seats to examiners and had not recorded the seating chart on the board according to the regulations of the Department of Education and Training. Some examiners who were marking the first time were still discussing while marking independently.
In particular, there were examiners who did not follow the essay marking process correctly and some exams showed signs of irregularities.
Specifically, when receiving the test bag from the team leader, the examiner does not count the number of tests, the number of pages, and crosses out the blank part of the candidate's test.
There is also the phenomenon of the first examiner writing on the candidate's test, the examiner sitting incorrectly on the diagram; examiner 1 signing and writing his/her full name on the candidate's test; examiner 1 writing the score on the candidate's test; examiner 2 not writing the score in the margin but writing on each sentence on the candidate's test.
In the Literature subject, examiner 2 did not score the individual answers but only scored the total score for the entire sentence; examiner 1 crossed out the student's mistakes in red pen and directly scored small ideas in the margins on the student's test.
Examiner 2 (the specialized Literature subject marking group of the Literature and Geography group) does not mark directly on the candidate's test and writes it on the marking sheet. It does not write down the score for each small idea in the margin of the test right next to the idea to be marked according to regulations, but writes down the component scores.
The French subject marking committee (specialized) did not write down the scores for each small idea in the margin of the test right next to the idea marked according to regulations, but instead wrote down the component scores.
The unified score sheet of examiner 1 and examiner 2 is not according to regulations but uses form 4 (exam scoring report).
The Inspector of the Ministry of Education and Training has recommended that the examination board and the Department of Education and Training of Hai Phong review the history (specialized) exams and other subjects (especially exams with signs of irregularities) and handle and resolve them according to the regulations of the examination board, the Department of Education and Training of Hai Phong and the regulations of the Ministry of Education and Training.
According to the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Education and Training, the Department of Education and Training of Hai Phong issued an official dispatch reporting on the implementation of this content on June 24 as prescribed.
Regarding the multiple-choice test, according to the Inspectorate of the Ministry of Education and Training, the multiple-choice test marking process does not stipulate the use of USB when copying from the scanner to the marking machine. The inspection team has recommended and the marking council has directed not to use USB and to follow the regulations of the Department of Education and Training.
Equipment preparation was not complete according to schedule and plan (4 machines were required, at the time of inspection there were only 2 scanners and 1 secretary machine, at the time of inspection there were no processing and scoring machines); no handover of equipment; no equipment inspection process.
Regarding this content, the inspection team of the Ministry of Education and Training has made recommendations and the examination board and the Department of Education and Training of Hai Phong have promptly corrected it.
