Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long directed the Ministry of Education and Training to carefully review, research, and absorb public opinions to complete and promulgate regulations on secondary and high school admissions according to its authority, including considering regulations on the announcement time for early exam options.
The Government Information Portal announced that the Government Office has issued Document No. 8347/VPCP-KGVX conveying the opinion of Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long on handling press information reflecting on the draft regulations on secondary and high school admissions.
Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long directed the Ministry of Education and Training to receive comments on the regulations for admission to grade 10 of high school.
Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long directed the Ministry of Education and Training to carefully review, research, and absorb public opinions to complete and promulgate regulations on secondary and high school admissions according to its authority, including considering regulations on the announcement time for early exams to create favorable conditions for schools and students, especially in proactively planning appropriate and effective teaching, learning, and review.
As Thanh Nien reported, on October 19, the Ministry of Education and Training announced the draft Regulations on Secondary and High School Admissions, which generally stipulate the implementation of 3 exam subjects, including math, literature and a third exam subject or a combined exam selected by the Department of Education andTraining and the university with the high school and announced before March 31 every year.
The third subject is selected from among the subjects assessed by scores in the general education program at the secondary level. The selection of the third subject has changed over the years to achieve the goal of comprehensive education in the basic education stage.
Many opinions say that although the draft announced by the Ministry of Education and Training does not require "lottery" for the third exam subject, but stipulates that the third exam subject must be changed every year, the Departments of Education and Training have little other choice.
Teacher Nguyen Xuan Khang, Chairman of the Council of Marie Curie School (Hanoi), said that the high school entrance exam subjects should be clearly defined, transparent and stable for many years. Do not and absolutely do not use the form of "lottery". Article 12, Clause 1 of the draft stipulates: the third exam subject or the combined exam is selected by the Department of Education and Training, the higher education institution and one of the two options and announced before March 31 every year.
"If this regulation is officially issued, it will lead to the Department of Education and Training having to "draw lots" and "take the risk". It is really not advisable!", Mr. Khang commented.
As for the Departments of Education and Training, it is proposed that the selection of the third subject should be left to the People's Committees of provinces and cities to decide, depending on the actual situation of the locality, and be responsible for the quality of education. This is to ensure the strengthening of decentralization of state management of education and training.
Meanwhile, Mr. Pham Ngoc Thuong, Deputy Minister of Education and Training, explained: the third subject for the 10th grade entrance exam is chosen by localities among the remaining subjects that are evaluated by scores, but with the principle that it will change every year to avoid rote learning and biased learning.
Many education experts believe that this explanation is not consistent with educational innovation in the direction of valuing the whole process, regular assessment, and promoting learners' capacity, which the 2018 General Education Program is aiming for.
