Synchronizing solutions to improve the quality of the high school graduation exam.

Prior to that, starting on January 20th, the Son La Provincial Education Union launched the "150-day intensive emulation campaign to dedicate ourselves to improving the quality of the exam." Schools carried out many activities, such as: "All for our beloved students," "No student left behind," and "Supporting students in difficult circumstances." With their love for the profession and dedication to their students, the teachers in the schools actively reviewed the exam material with 12th-grade students.

In addition to the regular morning curriculum, teachers dedicate extra time to reviewing and reinforcing students' knowledge free of charge in the afternoon or evening. To date, schools have organized 136,033 graduation exam review sessions; and 25,448 free tutoring sessions for weak and underperforming students. They have also donated nearly 400 million VND in cash and 300 million VND in in-kind support to disadvantaged 12th-grade students. With the goal of maintaining and improving the actual and sustainable graduation pass rate; and gradually raising the average scores in the exam subjects, the Department of Education and Training has organized training conferences on regulations and procedures for organizing the exam; and conferences to evaluate the results of 12th-grade exam review and solutions to improve the score distribution of the 2024 high school graduation exam subjects.
