TP - Hanoi is the locality with nearly 109,000 candidates taking the 2024 High School Graduation Exam, accounting for 1/10 and is also the locality with the largest number of students taking the exam in the country. Hanoi Department of Education and Training said that the large number of candidates taking the exam, many of whom are independent candidates, leads to cumbersome organization work, requiring careful preparation because if careless, it will leave very serious consequences.
Difficult to detect cheating candidates
According to Mr. Tran The Cuong, Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training, there are more than 4,600 independent candidates, equal to the number of candidates from another province. Up to now, Hanoi has prepared 196 examination sites with nearly 16,000 officials, teachers to supervise and grade the exams. To facilitate the travel of candidates, candidates in a district/town/city are arranged into one examination cluster.
According to regulations, exam invigilators are not allowed to invigilate students from their own school. Each exam room has two exam invigilators from two different high schools, one from a neighboring school and one from a middle school teacher in the district where the exam site is located.

Hanoi has mobilized departments and branches to coordinate and have plans to prevent flooding for 85 exam sites in inner-city districts, and to direct traffic so students can get to exam sites safely.
Lieutenant Colonel Ngo Xuan Hai, Deputy Head of the Internal Political Security Department, Hanoi City Police, warned that students and social media users who spread false information about the exam will be punished. Previously, during the 10th grade exam, some cases spread information about leaked Literature exam questions, however, after verification, the Police confirmed that the information was false. In the near future, some violations will be punished according to regulations, depending on the severity.
The Director of the Hanoi Department of Education and Training said that the fact that candidates and outsiders are collaborating to use modern devices to cheat on exams is a worrying issue. Currently, the Ministry of Education and Training has only regulated prohibited items and items that candidates are allowed to bring into the exam room, but has not specified the list of handheld calculators, while there are currently types that contain formulas, making it very difficult for invigilators to control. "The regulation that candidates' backpacks, belongings, and personal belongings must be kept 25 meters away from the exam room is still inappropriate because with the development of technology, devices that can be activated remotely and transmitted further are also a concern for the Examination Councils," said Mr. Cuong.
Mr. Tran Quoc Hoan, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Hoan Kiem District (Hanoi), said that the four testing sites in the area basically meet the conditions for organizing the exam. Each testing site has a backup generator. Medical staff are also mobilized to be on duty at the stations to handle unusual situations. The district also prepares at some schools for parents to have a place to park their vehicles and rest while waiting for their children, ensuring that the exam site gates are clear.
Each exam has its own exam cabinet.
Inspecting the organization of the 2024 high school graduation exam at Tran Phu High School and Chu Van An Secondary School, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong, Head of the National Steering Committee, shared that Hanoi has the largest number of candidates nationwide, so the organization requires careful attention to every step and stage. Especially, it is necessary to protect the exam papers and test papers from the printing stage, the transportation process to the exam site, the storage cabinet to the marking stage.
“Even the marking process must have a clear process. Hanoi has a large number of test papers, so the process must be clearly implemented from cutting the test papers, marking scientifically, ensuring progress, and being serious. If a pair of markers accidentally loses a candidate’s test paper, there is nothing that can compensate for it, and the consequences will be unpredictable,” said Mr. Thuong.
The Deputy Minister urged officials and teachers involved in organizing, supervising and grading exams to absolutely not be subjective. Small details, but just a little carelessness and negligence when they occur, will cost dearly.
Citing an example from last year's exam, at a testing site, a candidate used a very large phone to take pictures of the exam and smuggle them out, but the invigilator did not detect it. Mr. Thuong requested that this year's exam organization must learn from experience.
“Although it is difficult, after being trained by the police, teachers will have the knowledge and skills to detect cases of cheating. Students who intentionally cheat will show unusual signs and behaviors,” he said.
Mr. Pham Quoc Khanh, Deputy Director of the Department of Quality Management, Ministry of Education and Training, noted that Hanoi requires all testing sites to prepare cabinets to store test papers, with each subject having a separate compartment. These compartments will be clearly marked with information about the subject and the test date so that on the day of the test, the seal can be opened to get the correct test paper for that subject, avoiding confusion. The transportation of test papers during the marking process is also noted when there is heavy rain, which can affect the test papers.
