The Ministry of Education and Training said that it has just announced a draft Circular amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Regulations on the National Science and Technology Research Competition for Secondary and High School Students, emphasizing the need to improve integrity in scientific research. The projects selected to participate in the national competition are announced publicly, with supervision from the whole society, ensuring honesty in research.
According to the Ministry of Education and Training, the amendment and supplementation of Circular 06 focuses on three main contents, including: methods of selecting projects to compete in the National Competition; issues related to the organization of the Competition and issues related to the organization of the Competition at the level of the participating unit.
The addition and amendment of the circular is in line with the policy of streamlining and streamlining state management agencies and implementing the merger of provinces and cities. The Circular amending and supplementing Circular 06 was issued in the context of merging 63 provinces and cities into 34 provinces and cities, ensuring practical requirements in the process of organizing the Contest.
“The draft Circular amending and supplementing Circular 06 also emphasizes the need to improve integrity in scientific research by clearly defining specific subjects. The projects selected to participate in the national competition will also be publicly announced and monitored by the whole society, ensuring honesty in research,” the Ministry of Education and Training affirmed.
Change the way to calculate the maximum number of projects
According to the draft Circular amending and supplementing Circular 06, the number of projects participating in the competition at the Department of Education and Training is based on the percentage of projects participating in the competition at the Department of Education and Training level compared to the total number of projects participating in the competition at the Department of Education and Training level of provinces and cities nationwide. This makes the nomination of projects for competition more fair.
Departments with good scale and competition movement will be assigned a proportionate number of projects to participate in the Science and Technology Research Competition for high school students, avoiding leveling and not really encouraging the movement.
Small-scale competition units are allowed to register a maximum of 3 national competition projects; large-scale units are allowed to register a maximum of 12 projects. This regulation is suitable for the context of merging and streamlining administrative boundaries; at the same time, it maintains encouragement, motivation and arousing the movement of scientific and technical research.
For the participating units being high schools under the Ministry and ministerial-level agencies, universities, colleges, institutes, and academies, each unit can register a maximum of 3 competition projects, an increase of 1 project compared to the old regulation.
Last year, the Ministry of Education and Training awarded 12 first prizes to students participating in the national science and technology research competition for middle and high school students.
Soon after, a first prize winning project called "Smart waste sorting system integrating artificial intelligence and sound sensors" by students Vu Ngoc Anh and Vu Dinh Dang Hien, Nguyen Sieu High School ( Hung Yen ), was said to be similar to a product of a foreign expert.
The Ministry of Education and Training has verified and canceled the results, revoked the award and Certificate of Award of the project "Smart waste classification system integrating artificial intelligence and sound sensors", embedded system field of the Department of Education and Training of Hung Yen.
The Ministry of Education and Training requested the Department of Education and Training of Hung Yen province to take responsibility for strictly handling violating groups and individuals.
