On the afternoon of August 24, in Ho Chi Minh City, the Ministry of Education and Training held a conference to summarize the 2022-2023 school year and deploy tasks for the 2023-2024 school year for quality management and inspection of the Department of Education and Training.

Mr. Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training) said that in the 2022-2023 school year, the Ministry has directed the organization of the High School Graduation Exams, the National Excellent Student Selection Exams and the regional and international Olympic competitions in a safe and effective manner. However, the High School Graduation Exam recorded cases of 2 candidates violating the exam regulations and they have been handled. The Department of Internal Political Security (Ministry of Public Security) is continuing to clarify other related issues for handling in accordance with the provisions of law. Currently, there has been no information that the exam questions have been transferred into the exam room, the above incident does not affect the exam.

According to Mr. Huynh Van Chuong, regarding the opinions reflecting on the exam questions of this exam, after reviewing, it was found that the exam answers of the exams and subjects have not changed, except for accepting two correct answers in one question of the English exam. For the History exam, due to the exploitation of current textbook materials that are not very strict about the specific time in a question, the content of the questions basically still ensures the correct purpose and assessment level, so it does not affect the exam results and the rights of the candidates.

The organization of the 2024 High School Graduation Exam will be basically stable as in 2023. The Ministry will continue to finalize and submit to competent authorities to issue a plan for the 2025 High School Graduation Exam.

Regarding the coordination of security and safety for exams, a representative of the Internal Political Security Department (Ministry of Public Security) said that in the recent High School Graduation Exam, 51 candidates violated the regulations, of which 39 cases used mobile phones. Regarding the case of candidates violating exam regulations in Yen Bai and Cao Bang by taking photos of exam papers and sending them out, a representative of the Internal Political Security Department said that although it was assessed that it did not affect the quality of the exam, based on the nature, extent, and consequences of the behavior, it is not excluded that these cases will be considered for prosecution. This prosecution contributes to warning candidates in the coming time, limiting negativity, especially the use of high technology in exams.

According to the Ministry of Education and Training, in the 2023-2024 school year, quality management will continue to receive attention, focusing on the following tasks: Perfecting institutions, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of state management in quality management; directing the implementation of self-assessment, external assessment, quality improvement and national and international wide-scale quality assessment activities in depth, substance, streamlining and efficiency; continuing to implement national exams safely, seriously and in accordance with regulations.

The Ministry continues to rectify and standardize the organization of joint examinations for foreign language proficiency certificates, improve the quality of administrative reform, and online public services in the management of diplomas and certificates. The Ministry continues to direct the implementation of public regulations, strengthen inspections and audits; and pay attention to promoting digital transformation and administrative reform in the field of quality management.

Departments of Education and Training continue to issue a system of documents, provide full guidance and properly implement legal regulations on inspection and examination work, without any forbidden areas; handle and punish cases strictly, openly and transparently; build a monitoring system that is timely and proactive in all situations. Along with that, localities need to continue to improve the team of inspectors of the Department of Education and Training and educational inspection collaborators.
