Previously, the People's Committee of Thai Binh province announced an inspection of the implementation of policies, laws, assigned tasks, and powers of the Department of Education and Training, the Director of the Department of Education and Training, and related organizations and individuals in organizing the entrance examination for grade 10 high school in the 2024-2025 school year in Thai Binh province.

Initial findings indicate that the Head of the Examination Steering Committee and the Secretariat failed to comply with regulations during the process of reviewing essay exam papers, leading to the incorrect announcement of the total admission scores for 1,589 candidates, incorrect admission cutoff scores for the first round of 4 out of 12 specialized classes under the Specialized High School Admissions Council and 11 out of 29 Admissions Councils of general high schools, and incorrect admission results for 510 candidates.

The inspection team pointed out that the Head of the Secretariat and related individuals in the Secretariat did not fully fulfill their responsibilities in performing their duties. The Head of the Examination Steering Committee lacked responsibility, failed to inspect and supervise, and did not promptly report any unusual incidents during the examination to the Provincial People's Committee.

During the process of reviewing the essay exam papers, the provincial inspectors determined that the responsibility lay with the civil servants and officials of the Secretariat for failing to perform their assigned duties and responsibilities during the examination.

Representatives from the Department of Education and Training of Thai Binh province have accepted responsibility and apologized to parents, students, and the public for the shortcomings in the organization and management of the 10th grade entrance exam in Thai Binh province for the 2024-2025 school year.

Recently, public opinion in Thai Binh province has been abuzz about the results of both the initial and re-evaluation rounds of the entrance exam for 10th grade high school in Thai Binh province for the 2024-2025 school year.

Ms. PTD (47 years old), residing in Nam Hong commune, Tien Hai district, Thai Binh province, is the person who submitted a complaint to the authorities requesting clarification on the admission process for the 10th grade entrance exam in Thai Binh province for the 2024-2025 school year.

In her complaint, Ms. D. stated that the entrance exam for 10th grade in Thai Binh province for the 2024-2025 school year took place from June 6-8, 2024, with the results announced and available for checking on June 16. Upon seeing the exam results, her family and many other parents, students, and teachers from secondary schools throughout the province were extremely surprised and upset because the scores did not accurately reflect the students' performance.

In the petition, Ms. D. also stated that after the initial results were released, parents submitted appeals. On July 16th, the appeal results confirmed that many exam papers had been graded incorrectly. After the appeal, the scores for various subjects, especially mathematics and literature, differed significantly from the initial scores.

Specifically, candidate number 260xxx scored 3.75 in mathematics, and after the review, the score was raised to 9.5. Candidate number 260xxx scored 4 in literature, and after the review, the score was raised to 7.5.

In particular, candidate number 270xxx had previously won second prize in mathematics at the Thai Binh provincial-level excellent student competition, but his math score was only 5.5 points; after the re-evaluation, the male student's math score was 9.5 points…
