What were the high school graduation results of the 4 students who "voluntarily" dropped out of school?

(NLDO) – After the Lao Dong Newspaper reported, 4 12th grade students who were said to have "voluntarily" asked to leave school were allowed to return to school and all passed the high school graduation exam.

On the afternoon of July 18, the Dak Lak Department of Education and Training announced the 2025 high school graduation results for schools in the province.

HGB and her mother reported the incident to a reporter from the Lao Dong Newspaper.

Accordingly, in the 2025 high school graduation exam, the whole Dak Lak province had 32,418 candidates taking the exam. As a result, 31,881 candidates passed the high school graduation exam, reaching a rate of 98.34% (not yet reviewed).

Notably, 4 students were allowed to return to school after being reported by the Lao Dong Newspaper and all passed the high school graduation exam.

Previously, Nguoi Lao Dong Newspaper had many articles reflecting on the fact that many 12th grade students at Cao Ba Quat High School (Tan An Ward, Dak Lak Province) were said to have "voluntarily" asked to leave school or asked to reserve their results when the high school graduation exam was approaching.

On April 16, after the results of the second semester midterm exam were announced, HGB and her parents were invited to meet the principal, Ms. Huynh Thi Kim Hue. According to the parents' feedback, after the principal "confided", HGB was upset and wrote a request to leave school, reserving her results when there were more than 2 months left for the high school graduation exam.

A day later, the child's parent texted the homeroom teacher to ask to return to school, but received the reply: "No, ma'am, the principal has approved it." When the parent questioned and begged for the child to return to school, the teacher texted: "I'll return the diploma at 9:35 at the school gate."

Then, on April 29, the parents went to the school to meet the principal to ask for their children to go back to school. Here, the principal said: "HGB was not approved for the graduation exam, and did not pass the exam..." At this time, the parents begged the principal to let them go back to school, but Ms. Hue said: "The school has erased the records, how can they go back to school? Okay, I thought something happened, go home."

After the Lao Dong Newspaper reported the incident, the Dak Lak Provincial Party Committee directed to clarify the incident. According to the report of the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province, in the 2024-2025 school year, 16 12th grade students of Cao Ba Quat High School dropped out of school or had their academic results postponed.

After the newspaper reported, 4 students including: HGB (who applied to reserve their study results from April 16), HYM (who applied to reserve their results from April 25), HTP (who applied to reserve their results from April 14), YHN (who applied to drop out of school from April 17) returned to school.

According to the announcement of the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province, all 4 students above passed the high school graduation exam.

There is no provision for reserving student learning outcomes.

According to the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province, of the 16 students who dropped out of school, 5 students submitted applications to reserve their study results.

However, the process of handling student absences and retaining results at Cao Ba Quat High School is not in accordance with the school's charter and current regulations. Specifically, there is no regulation on retaining students' learning results.

Thus, the homeroom teacher advising students to write an application to reserve their study results is not in accordance with regulations.

Previously, responding to the press about public opinion that this was a "trick" of the school to reduce the high school graduation failure rate in the 2025 exam, Mr. Do Tuong Hiep, Deputy Director of the Department of Education and Training of Dak Lak province, said that there is currently no basis to confirm this. The Department continues to verify related contents to consolidate the records and properly handle the collective and individual responsibilities involved at Cao Ba Quat High School.

"Thank you, reporter, for your findings so that the education sector can promptly make corrections and implement better," said Mr. Hiep.
