Grading high school graduation exams in special circumstances

The special feature of this year's high school graduation exam is that it takes place right before the two-level local government system comes into operation from July 1; the exam is organized by three-level local governments, but the exam grading and announcement of exam results are done by two-level local governments.

Regarding the exam marking work, Mr. Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training), said that from June 28, all exam steering committees in localities have begun to implement the marking of high school graduation exams. Regarding this, the Ministry of Education and Training has given clear instructions, noting the issues that need to be prioritized in adjusting the exam marking committee. "However, we note one thing, only the senior executives have been adjusted, but all the teachers marking the exams, the exam marking locations... remain unchanged. The same teachers are still marking at the same schools... Therefore, we can rest assured that this change will not affect professional activities," Mr. Chuong emphasized.

According to Mr. Chuong, most localities have proactively implemented the previous instructions of the Ministry of Education and Training. Localities that activate the new government's activities from July 1 will consider adjusting the steering committee and the exam board if necessary or may keep them as they are, depending on the unified direction of each locality. As for localities that officially implement the new government's activities after the exam marking end date of July 15, they will follow the exam instructions issued by the Ministry to organize this exam.

Representatives of the Ministry of Education and Training informed about the exam marking and exam questions at the press conference yesterday afternoon (June 27).

Regarding this issue, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong affirmed: "As in the spirit of the high school graduation exam in literature, "students in any province are students of Vietnam", we adhere to the principles of 3 guarantees, 6 clarity, doing things publicly, transparently, and in accordance with regulations".

The Ministry of Education and Training said it will continue to direct, guide and strengthen inspection, examination and supervision to ensure good implementation of the stages of marking, comparing test score data, announcing test results, reviewing test papers, considering high school graduation for candidates and university and college admission. The inspection teams of the National Examination Steering Committee and the Ministry of Education and Training's examination inspection team will conduct inspections of the examination marking work at all examination councils during this activity to enhance the seriousness of the examination marking work.

Exam results announced at exactly 8:00 a.m. on July 16.
