This draft Circular will replace Circular 51/2011 of the Ministry of Education and Training regulating the national periodic assessment of students' learning outcomes in general education institutions of the Minister of Education and Training .
According to the Ministry of Education and Training , the current Circular only applies to national periodic assessments chaired by Vietnam, to assess the learning outcomes of students in general education institutions, and has not yet adjusted for international assessments with the participation of Vietnam.
 |
Students will complete the survey on paper, on a computer, or a combination of both. |
However, in the past and in the coming years, Vietnam has, is and will continue to participate in many international assessment programs such as PISA (Programme for International Student Assessment for 15-year-olds of the OECD); SEA-PLM (Programme for Assessment of Primary School Students in Southeast Asia); TALIS (Programme for International Assessment of Teaching and Learning of the OECD).
These programs are all chaired by the Ministry of Education and Training, and at the same time, they are guided to be implemented seriously, synchronously and uniformly nationwide to provinces, cities and educational institutions.
Diversify assessment forms
To suit the actual situation, the new draft circular has been expanded to include both “national wide-ranging assessment” and “international wide-ranging assessment”.
The new draft has adjusted the content and form of assessment. Specifically, the assessment content is the requirements to be achieved for the subjects participating in the assessment, as prescribed in the current general education program.
Students will take the survey on paper, on computer or a combination of both (according to Clause 3, Article 8 of the draft). If necessary to serve state management requirements, the Minister of Education and Training may add additional surveys, in addition to the regular national and international surveys.
Some other notable new points
Regarding assessment content: Assessment is based on the requirements for the subjects participating in the assessment, as prescribed in the current general education program.
The draft focuses on assessing students' ability to apply knowledge and skills in solving problems related to study and life. In addition, it adds an assessment of English for students in grades 9 and 11.
The Department of Education and Training is responsible for advising the Provincial/City People's Committee to arrange local budgets or mobilize other legal funding sources to implement national-level large-scale assessment programs according to regulations.
The Ministry of Education and Training said that the issuance of the new Circular replacing Circular 51/2011/ is of great significance in realizing the goal of developing a national-level wide-scale assessment system in Vietnam.
Once issued, the new circular will contribute to periodically providing objective and reliable information on the quality of general education; at the same time, it will be the basis for proposing policies and solutions to innovate teaching and learning activities, meeting the requirements of implementing the General Education Program, improving the quality and promoting international integration of Vietnamese general education.
