Many people say that it is now too easy to get into university through the "door" of reviewing academic records, but the consequence is a reduction in student quality due to a lack of basic knowledge.
Recently, on November 22, the Ministry of Education and Training announced the draft regulations for university admissions in 2025, including many new points regarding early admission. Specifically, universities are not allowed to reserve more than 20% of their quota for early admission, and for considering transcripts, the entire 12th grade score must be used, with Math or Literature required, according to the draft of the Ministry of Education.

On social networking forums, many opinions say that the current report card scores are not accurate and do not reflect the actual abilities of students. In the past, in normal high school classes (not selective classes), there were rarely any students with excellent academic performance, and those with good grades accounted for less than half of the class. And the average final score of only about 6.5 to 7 points was considered good.
Nowadays, most classes have a total of 7 or 8 points in their report cards, but it seems that the quality of learning has not improved at all. In real tests, the score is only 3 or 4 points. The phenomenon of students lacking basic knowledge from high school to university is no longer strange, however, they still pass the university entrance exam thanks to their transcripts.
A parent shared that after their child went to college for four years, spending hundreds of millions of dong, but after graduating, he only wanted to work as a salesman because his general knowledge was still shaky and he had no expertise. With such ability, the parent had to sadly keep his child's college degree, then tried to invest in opening a small restaurant for him to make a living.
Many people say that it is too easy to get into university now, but the quality of students is very bad. Except for a few top schools, most of the lower-ranked schools consider admission based on transcripts and graduation exams (all with scores of 8, 9, 10), so where does the actual quality come from?
Observing the benchmark scores for high school academic results to enter university in recent years, a test preparation teacher in Ho Chi Minh City also expressed "discomfort" with the transcript scores and this form of university admission.
This teacher said that the benchmark score based on the form of considering academic records is constantly increasing, leading to many training professions in many schools having benchmark scores close to the absolute 10 points for each subject in the subject group. Therefore, he expressed the opinion that university entrance should limit or eliminate the admission based on the form of academic records, limit the support for negativity, giving unrealistic scores, and allowing the situation of excellent students to spread, affecting the quality of university entrance.
Furthermore, using academic transcripts to select university students would be very unfair to students from different regions. Like this teacher, many people also expressed their disapproval of university admissions based solely on academic transcripts.
However, that does not mean completely ignoring the report card score. This is still a necessary assessment factor to avoid students being biased and lazy in other subjects.
