Before merging, the 63 provinces and cities also affirmed that this year's high school graduation exam must ensure 3 goals. One is to consider graduation recognition, record graduation, record the learning results of students in 12 years of generaleducation . Two is to evaluate the management and teaching work in general education, from which to review and adjust policies accordingly. Policies from investment in facilities, from programs and projects to improve the quality of education, policies for teachers, policies for students. Three is enough reliable data to consider university admission.
According to Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong, the success of this year's exam comes from bold innovation in the direction of assessing capacity instead of testing pure knowledge. "We not only change the way of testing but also change the teaching and learning mindset, from memorization to developing real qualities and capacities for students."
A highlight of the 2024 high school graduation exam is the organization of the exam according to career orientation, creating opportunities for students to develop their personal abilities. Students can choose subjects according to their strengths, even when there are subjects in some provinces where only one candidate registers, the education sector still ensures that the exam is fully organized, leaving no one behind.

Shortening the exam period from 4 sessions to 3 sessions not only helps reduce pressure and costs but also demonstrates the ability of the entire industry to overcome difficulties. The third exam was held simultaneously for 16 subjects, including 18 subjects including foreign languages, an unprecedented challenge. However, the task of creating and collecting exam questions was carried out scientifically and absolutely safely thanks to the motto "trial exam like real exam", without any mistakes.
Notably, for the first time, students chose to take exams in subjects such as Information Technology and Agricultural Technology, showing a change in thinking about choosing exams based on ability and career orientation. Some mountainous provinces have students choosing to take the English exam, with results ranking in the top 3 nationwide in terms of average scores, demonstrating the spirit of comprehensive and effective innovation. "This is a real success, in line with the educational goals set by the Party and the State," the Deputy Minister affirmed.
The average score, median, standard deviation and score differentiation show that the exam is highly reliable. This result is not "shocking", but reflects the true capacity of students and the quality of education in each locality. "Provinces such as Nghe An, Nam Dinh, Ha Tinh, Vinh Phuc... have clearly risen, instead of only Hanoi or Ho Chi Minh City being at the top as before", Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong cited.
The high school graduation rate in 2025 will reach 99.21%, almost the same as in 2024 (99.24%). It is noteworthy that this year's exam has reduced pressure on students as the exam score only accounts for 50% of the graduation consideration, the rest is calculated from the 12th grade learning process. This is an important adjustment step to properly recognize students' abilities, avoiding absolute dependence on exam scores.
According to Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong, this year, for the first time, the Ministry has applied the method of adjusting scores according to T-score - a scientific tool to standardize data, helping to evaluate learning outcomes more objectively. This method is highly appreciated by experts and opens up a new approach in analyzing and managing education.

According to the Deputy Minister of Education and Training, "Our students have changed their state very quickly, not passive like before. Perhaps they have understood for a long time but we are always worried about them." And today's results are aimed at students and towards real results, in accordance with the spirit of proactive, creative, real learning, real exams, real results, real talents of General Secretary To Lam and Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
The Deputy Minister affirmed that achieving this result was the effort of the entire education sector. An exam not only reflects the students' abilities, but also says a lot about management and organization. Although the Ministry of Education and Training has held many press conferences and widely announced information, with a major exam, the first time it has been deeply innovated like this year, it is inevitable that there will be some incomplete points.
The Deputy Minister of Education and Training said: The Ministry will continue to listen to opinions from students, parents, and experts in a serious and open-minded spirit. At the same time, it will maintain a professional viewpoint to better serve the management, direction, and improvement of the exam in the following years.
