Discussing the concern that "if Foreign Language is not compulsory, it will lead to students not studying, making it difficult to integrate internationally", Prof. Dr. Thai Van Thanh (Director of Nghe An Department of Education and Training) gave an example from Nghe An province when about 5 years ago the quality of teaching and learning English was low. After the province had mechanisms to influence teachers and learners, and paid attention to the learning environment, the quality of teaching and learning English has gradually improved.
“To teach English well, there needs to be a mechanism to influence teachers and students and a learning environment, not just exams that will improve foreign language results,” Mr. Thanh shared.
Concluding the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha assessed the preparation of the Ministry of Education and Training for the draft plan for exams and recognition of high school graduation from 2025.
The Deputy Prime Minister directed: “Today, the Council members have chosen option 2+2. I request the Ministry of Education and Training to have a comprehensive and methodical plan, including very specific issues such as preparing a question bank, preparing exam organization plans…”.
The Deputy Prime Minister also paid attention to ensuring fairness in access to education when developing a project on organizing high school graduation exams from 2025.
