Hanoi voters propose reviewing the method of calculating priority points in university admissions

Review how priority points are calculated

The Standing Committee of the Vietnam Fatherland Front Committee of Hanoi has just reported synthesizing opinions and recommendations of voters and people at the 6th session of the 15th National Assembly.

Accordingly, Hanoi voters requested the National Assembly to find solutions to remove and reduce pressure on students, their families and society regarding admission to high schools in public schools in the area. Prioritize the construction of more schools and classrooms, and purchase good facilities for students, especially preschoolers and primary school students.

Voters continue to make recommendations on the implementation of general education programs and textbooks. There is a situation where a locality or school chooses to teach many different sets of textbooks, causing waste and expense when a set of textbooks is not used many times.

This causes a lack of consistency in the curriculum content. For the same knowledge content, some textbooks are arranged in semester 1, while others are arranged in semester 2. Voters agree with the development of a set of state textbooks.

In addition, voters suggested adding life skills as a compulsory subject in schools. There should be appropriate lectures and appropriate application for each locality and region.

The report also stated that recently there have been many reports about the contribution of early-year revenues by schools in the capital, and the situation of over-collection "hidden" under the guise of voluntary contributions, which is always a concern for parents every time they enter a new school year.

Regarding university admissions in 2023, there are also many opinions suggesting that it is necessary to review the method of calculating too many priority points in universities, to avoid the situation where candidates with high scores of 29 or 30 points still fail their first choice due to not receiving priority points, which can easily lead to missing out on talent.

Resolutely resolve suspended projects lasting from 10-20 years

In the field of transportation and urban areas, voters recommended that National Assembly deputies pay attention to prioritizing investment in transportation projects to reduce congestion and flooding. At the same time, they should completely resolve suspended projects lasting from 10 to 20 years, which spoil the urban landscape, cause huge economic losses, and reduce people's trust in the State's policies.

Recommend that relevant agencies take measures to decisively handle slow-moving land projects. The National Assembly speeds up the revision of the Land Law to help resolve difficulties in land management due to inconsistent policies, affecting the interests of people and businesses, especially in site clearance for projects.

In addition, the management and use of apartment buildings still have many shortcomings, the renovation of old apartment buildings is slow, social housing is lacking compared to demand; fire prevention and fighting work still has many loopholes, especially the particularly serious fire that occurred at a mini apartment building in Khuong Dinh ward, Thanh Xuan district, which killed and injured many people.

Therefore, people request the Government to have specific regulations on management, use and fire prevention and fighting regulations for mini apartment buildings.
