Grading high school graduation exams: Fast information, timely processing, immediate effectiveness

Speaking at the inspection, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong acknowledged and highly appreciated the initiative in organizing the exam marking of Ninh Binh province; including the arrangement of police and inspectors to ensure security and safety, fire prevention and fighting, the electrical system was maintained and the coordination between departments was very smooth.

The Deputy Minister said that this year, the organization of the exam took place in the context that many localities had switched to a two-tier government model. The inspection team of the Ministry of Education and Training focused on inspecting provinces that were in the process of administrative status transition to promptly grasp the situation and resolve arising difficulties.

Under the direction of the Prime Minister, all examination supervision and grading work is strongly decentralized to localities. Therefore, the transformation of the management model requires provinces, especially merged localities, to proactively adapt and operate flexibly.

Despite implementing a two-level local government, the work of grading high school graduation exams in 2025 must ensure the "4 on-site" motto: on-site direction, on-site equipment, on-site human resources and on-site logistics.

Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong speaks.

The Deputy Minister requested that units continue to report specifically on the conversion process, clearly stating difficulties and problems, including in professional content such as marking instructions, examination regulations, etc., so that the Ministry of Education and Training can promptly answer and support.

At the same time, the Deputy Minister emphasized that localities need to be proactive and clear about the information reporting system, clear focal points and responsibilities. Progress should not be forced, especially in essay marking, because it will lead to the risk of errors or wrong marking. The marking of exams must comply with regulations, ensuring the legitimate rights of candidates.

This is a big exam with many participants, so it is necessary to provide quick information, handle it promptly and effectively. The Ninh Binh Provincial Examination Council needs to carry out inspection work well, ensure security and safety so that the exam marking process takes place in accordance with regulations and laws.

In the coming time, localities need to continue to promote a sense of responsibility, carry out the work of marking, scoring and announcing results on schedule, ensuring quality, fairness and transparency.

Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong noted that the Literature marking team needs to carry out the marking in a humane spirit, recognizing the efforts of students, avoiding mechanical application. The marking must ensure the correct progress, regulations, procedures, and be evenly marked and accurately reflect the substance of the candidates' work. This is not only a technical requirement but also a demonstration of fairness towards candidates in the locality in particular and the whole country in general.
