On June 23, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son led a delegation of the Ministry to inspect the preparation for the high school graduation exam in Thai Binh province. Before the working session, the delegation inspected the exam site at Nguyen Duc Canh High School, Thai Binh City.

Reporting to the delegation, Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Ha - Director of the Department of Education and Training of Thai Binh province - said that this year's exam has 24,318 candidates registered in the province.

The Ministry's working delegation inspected the preparation for the high school graduation exam in Thai Binh province.

Notably, the review and professional preparation for the exam were carried out early and systematically. Right from the beginning of the school year, schools surveyed students' wishes and developed a review plan that was close to reality. The Department of Education and Training organized training for 100% of teachers of graduation exam subjects; guided educational institutions in developing review materials and a common question bank; and organized training courses on regulations and professional skills for all staff and teachers participating in the stages of the exam.

In particular, the Department of Education and Training of Thai Binh province closely coordinated with the provincial police to organize specialized training for supervisors on skills to identify, inspect and prevent cheating in exams using high technology - one of the potential risks that can affect the seriousness of the exam.

At the meeting, delegates focused on discussing and reviewing issues related to the arrangement of examination sites, ensuring facilities, transporting and securing examination papers, as well as plans to handle arising situations. Colonel Nguyen Quoc Vuong - Deputy Director of the Provincial Police Department - said that the police forces at all levels have coordinated with examination sites to develop full plans to ensure absolute safety for the examination, from protecting examination papers and papers to the safety of staff and candidates.

The province also seriously accepted the instructions from the working group of the Ministry of Education and Training to continue to perfect the exam organization plans in accordance with the general direction.

Speaking at the meeting, Minister Nguyen Kim Son highly appreciated the serious, methodical and proactive participation of Thai Binh province. He emphasized that this year's exam has many new points, being the first exam to be held simultaneously for students following the two general education programs of 2018 and 2006. The exam also took place in a special context, when the whole country is implementing the rearrangement of commune-level administrative units and implementing the two-level local government model.

According to the Minister, in any circumstances, education and training, especially the high school graduation exam, must be organized seriously, fairly and safely. He emphasized that localities need to adhere to the spirit of "4 rights - 3 noes - 2 reinforcements", emphasizing the role of leadership, clear direction, responsibility and compliance with regulations. The process of organizing the exam, especially the invigilation stage, must promptly and strictly handle cases of violations of regulations.
