On November 14th, at the Government Headquarters, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha chaired a meeting of the National Council for Education and Human Resource Development (hereinafter referred to as the Council) to discuss the draft plan for the high school graduation exam starting in 2025.
Attending the meeting were Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong; members of the Council; a number of education experts; and representatives of the leadership of several ministries, sectors, and localities.
Supporting the 2+2 option, opinions from Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quy Thanh (Rector of the University of Education, Vietnam National University, Hanoi) and Prof. Dr. Nguyen Van Minh (Rector of Hanoi Pedagogical University);
Prof. Dr. Duong Quy Sy (Rector of Lam Dong Medical College), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Diep Tuan (Chairman of the School Council, Ho Chi Minh City University of Medicine and Pharmacy);
Associate Professor Dr. Le Huy Hoang (Deputy Head of the Education Department, Central Propaganda Department), Professor Dr. Thai Van Thanh (Director of the Nghe An Department of Education and Training), Mr. Nguyen Van Hieu (Director of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training)... also raised issues such as the development and publication of exam formats, organizing exams in conjunction with human resource training, and the need to pay attention to evaluating students' learning process in addition to the high school graduation exam...
Regarding the concern that "if foreign languages are not compulsory in exams, it will lead to students not studying them, making international integration difficult," Professor Dr. Thai Van Thanh (Director of the Department of Education and Training of Nghe An province) cited the example of Nghe An province, where about 5 years ago the quality of English teaching and learning was low. After the province implemented mechanisms to influence teachers and students, and paid attention to the learning environment, the quality of English teaching and learning has gradually improved.
"To teach English effectively, we need mechanisms to influence teachers and students, as well as a conducive learning environment, rather than simply relying on exams to improve foreign language skills," Mr. Thanh shared.
Concluding the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha highly appreciated the Ministry of Education and Training's preparation of the draft plan for the high school graduation examination and recognition from 2025.
The Deputy Prime Minister instructed: “Today, the Council members have chosen the 2+2 option. I propose that the Ministry of Education and Training develop a comprehensive and systematic plan, which includes very specific issues such as preparing a question bank and preparing plans for organizing the exams…”.
The Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized the importance of ensuring fairness in access to education when developing the plan for organizing the high school graduation exam from 2025 onwards.
