Overcoming difficulties to maintain high achievements

Of the total 61 high schools, junior high schools and vocational training centers in the province, 27 units achieved a 100% high school graduation rate in the 2025 exam. In that list, many people were surprised when 2 schools in difficult areas, Vo Van Kiet High School and Ninh Quoi High School, continued to appear. And that is not a coincidence, but the sweet fruit of a journey of continuous efforts by both teachers and students. Because those who have been here and witnessed the learning atmosphere here can see the efforts and overcoming difficulties in the still lacking conditions.

In the 2024-2025 school year, Vo Van Kiet High School has 493 12th grade students, distributed in 12 classes. According to the high school graduation exam results, the school achieved a graduation rate of 100%; 3 students got 10 points in Physics and 1 point in Geography. This is the 9th consecutive year the school has maintained this proud result.

Mr. Tran Quang Dien, Principal of Vo Van Kiet High School, shared: “This year is the first year that students take the exam according to the 2018 General Education Program , and with the added pressure from Circular 29, all review activities must be adjusted flexibly. The school proactively classifies students, makes a scientific review plan, organizes professional activities for clusters of schools, conducts common tests... so that teachers can promptly support students.”

What is special is that, despite not having financial support, the school's teachers still volunteer to tutor weak students, even using online platforms such as Zalo and Azota to support extra-curricular exam preparation. Not only imparting knowledge, teachers also guide students in test-taking skills and filling in multiple-choice answer sheets - something completely new for students taking exams under the new education program.

Mr. Dien also shared: “Every time we take a mock test, we hold a professional meeting to learn from experience, clearly identify where students are weak, what skills they lack, and then adjust the method immediately. With the close support of teachers, students also practice hard, study hard, so they progress faster.”

Together to keep the achievements

At another school also located in a difficult area of the province - Ninh Quoi High School. This place shines with the spirit of striving to overcome difficulties. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school has 176 grade 12 students, distributed in 5 classes and all of them passed the high school graduation exam . Notably, the school's students achieved 2 scores of 10 in the subjects of Geography and Economics - Law. This is the 8th consecutive year that the school has maintained this absolute rate.

Mr. Dang Thanh Luc, Principal of Ninh Quoi High School, said: “Along with the common difficulties of the education sector, we determined that if we are not proactive, we cannot maintain quality. Therefore, the school has soon developed a systematic review plan, organized meetings with subject teachers to agree on teaching methods suitable to the actual situation.”

The principal of Ninh Quoi High School (standing) encourages 12th grade students to try harder before the new exam program.

In particular, in addition to the regular review periods, many teachers also volunteer to teach extra classes for free, organizing tutoring sessions in class or via the internet. It is this closeness and sharing that has created a strong bond between teachers and students - any unclear knowledge is immediately answered, promptly reinforcing the lessons for the students.

Not only teachers make efforts, but students of the school are also more proactive and progressive when they see the dedication of teachers. “Students understand that they are not alone. Behind them is a group of teachers who guide, support and help them at any time. This consensus is the decisive factor, the foundation for the exam results to be maintained every year, not just this year,” Mr. Luc affirmed.

Amidst many difficulties in teaching and learning conditions, two schools in disadvantaged areas of the province still maintain high achievements. This is not only a story about rankings but also an affirmation of quality, trust and educational mettle. The fact that these schools are simple and modest but have maintained an absolute graduation rate for many years is a testament to the journey of companionship, dedication and perseverance of both teachers and students - amidst difficulties, the light of knowledge is always the brightest./.
