In 2015, the Ministry of Education and Training organized the first national high school exam for the purpose of high school graduation and university admission. At that time, most universities recruited students based on this exam.
Remember 2015 - the first year of the national high school exam and candidates were allowed to withdraw their applications within the specified days.
"Strange admission day", "Tears at the last minute of admission", "Chaos at university admission at the 89th minute", "First wish ends in tears", "Candidates burst into tears at the last minute", "Shock, chaos and tears", "Suffocating until the last minute"... are the featured articles in newspapers published on August 21, 2015.
That scene did not repeat itself in 2016 when the registration method was adjusted. The registration process in the following years was improved and made online, making it more convenient for candidates.
However, the 2022 university entrance exam has caused many candidates to struggle because the application registration software is difficult to use, many candidates mistakenly use the wrong method, losing the opportunity to be admitted.
In 2023, the Ministryof Education and Training will improve the system so that candidates do not need to register for admission methods on the system to avoid confusion and ensure the rights of candidates.
Improvements in enrollment of the Ministry of Education and Training over the years
Since the 2015 admissions period, university admission methods have become increasingly diverse. Admission policies have also continuously changed over the years.
Changes in the organization of exams for admission and admission methods:
The determination of enrollment targets of universities has also changed a lot towards increasing the autonomy of the schools.
If in the first phase, the ministry assigns quotas to schools, in the following years, schools will determine their own training capacity, register quotas, and the ministry will conduct post-inspection.
One of the controversies in admissions is preferential points. The preferential policy in university admissions in the past was said to create inequality, even in many years candidates with a score of 30 still failed university entrance exams. This forced the Ministry of Education and Training to amend the regulations and reduce regional preferential points.
In addition to these adjustments, there are also changes in quality assurance thresholds, virtual selection and filtering, use of common databases in admissions... The number of candidates admitted to universities every year is continuously increasing.
However, 2023 marked a decline when the rate of candidates admitted to schools compared to their enrollment targets was lower than previous years.
Minor changes expected in 2024 admissions
Evaluating university admissions in recent years, the Ministry of Education and Training said that fairness between admission methods has not been ensured.
Early admission of schools still has many shortcomings, many universities enroll students regardless of training capacity. Therefore, the Ministry of Education and Training plans to make small changes in regulations to ensure fairness in admission in 2024.
