The biggest change in this year's literature exam is that the texts used in both the reading comprehension and writing sections do not come from any of the three current textbooks.
Teachers commented that the exam questions touched upon the sacred feelings of love for one's homeland and country. Many candidates also expressed excitement and emotion while taking the exam.
According to many teachers, as the first subject in the 2025 high school graduation exam and the first exam under the 2018 General Education Program, the Literature exam has undergone fundamental changes in line with the student competency-based approach; ensuring compliance with the regulations on the structure and format of the high school graduation exam from 2025 onwards as announced by the Ministry of Education and Training, and closely adhering to the required knowledge and skills in Literature, as outlined in the 2018 General Education Program.
From the exam structure and content to the way questions are framed in the reading comprehension and writing sections, all demonstrate innovative efforts, offering excitement, challenges, and opportunities for candidates who are eager to learn, explore , and possess independent thinking and interpretations of issues in literature and social life.
