This is a special exam as it marks a fundamental change in the country's education . The results of the exam are awaited not only by millions of students but also by their parents, the education sector and the whole society.
The 2018 general education program has set a new vision for the country's education, which is a major transformation in the country's education: education has shifted from a content-based approach to a competency-based approach, forming competencies for students in the learning process.
Perhaps, after this exam, there will be many comments and assessments about this program, but as educators, who have participated in giving comments on the program and textbooks of the new program, we cannot help but admit that: our country's education has been changing, changing in a positive direction, approaching the education of developed countries in the world .
Changing from a curriculum development approach towards developing students' competencies to implementing a multi-book/textbook program is a step forward. This approach, initially, inevitably caused concerns among students, parents, society and the education sector. However, the results we have achieved in building the 2018 General Education Program show the success of the program.
We see that the construction of different textbooks by many groups of authors and many publishers has created a new perspective on education and created a true educational market in the use of textbooks.
Teachers and students both understand that textbooks are not the only materials used in general schools. They are only considered one of the important materials in implementing the 2018 General Education Program. Understanding this, teachers in general schools as well as pedagogical colleges have made constant efforts and innovations in changing teaching methods.
General education now not only aims at equipping students with knowledge, teaching by stuffing knowledge but also aims at forming and developing students' abilities through education. Therefore, lessons, examples in textbooks and teachers' creativity in the teaching process are all aimed at developing students' abilities.
The change is clearly shown in students, instead of studying lopsidedly or rote, they have moved towards learning more consciously, towards forming new abilities to meet the changes in future life, not only theirs but also of society.
General education has changed. The 2025 high school graduation exam will show a new face of the new generation that will participate in building the country. That generation must be citizens trained to be creative, confidently stepping into future life and stepping out into the world.
The results of an exam are not only a measure of the students’ own learning achievements, but also a measure of the efforts of teachers, the care of parents and society, especially this exam is also the result of a major change in the country’s education. Although this exam has many changes, this year’s high school graduates will only study the next 3 years of the 2018 General Education Program.
Perhaps it will take a few more years for students who have fully studied the new program to demonstrate the results of the program and the efforts of the education sector to change the country's education. Hopefully, with this high school graduation exam, the Ministry of Education and Training will learn from experience to adjust the program, making teaching and learning more realistic, helping our citizens become creative, confident people ready to deal with an uncertain world in the future.
Hopefully, candidates entering this exam will have enough confidence to assert themselves not only through the exam results but also through the crystallization of their abilities to solve the fundamental changes in today's world, tomorrow's world with dizzying changes in technology.
New citizens of the 2018 General Education Program must truly be masters of themselves and their country, ready to devote themselves to further developing the country.
