At 5:00 p.m. on June 27, the Ministry of Education and Training (MOET) held a press conference to provide information about the 2025 high school graduation exam. Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Ngoc Thuong chaired the press conference. Also attending the meeting were Major General Tran Dinh Chung, Deputy Director of the Department of Internal Political Security (A03), Ministry of Public Security ; Professor Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management (MOET).
The exam is in accordance with regulations and has many new points.
According to Deputy Minister Pham Ngoc Thuong, this year's exam is organized for both students studying under the 2018 GeneralEducation Program and students studying under the 2006 General Education Program.
With more than 1.1 million candidates registered for the exam, an increase of nearly 100,000 compared to last year, the exam took place in the context that the whole country is implementing the arrangement and organization of the two-level local government apparatus and changes in the arrangement of the inspection agency system.
The number of candidates is large, organized nationwide, but with the participation of relevant ministries, departments, and localities, the exam supervision takes place safely, objectively, transparently, and in accordance with regulations.
However, due to the nature and scale of the exam, mistakes are inevitable. Therefore, the Deputy Minister wishes to hear comments from the press in particular and public opinion in general so that the Steering Committee can learn from experience and continue to improve and perform better in the next stages of the exam.
Meanwhile, Professor Huynh Van Chuong, Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training), said that up to this point, there has been no case of students being unable to take the 2025 high school graduation exam due to difficult circumstances.
Professor Huynh Van Chuong said that some candidates used their phones, violated the exam regulations and were disciplined according to regulations. No officials or supervisors violated the exam regulations. The Ministry of Education and Training generally assessed that the exam supervision took place according to plan, safely and seriously.
According to Mr. Chuong, the National Steering Committee for High School Graduation Exams will provide guidance and direction for the grading process in the context of the merger. Therefore, localities can rest assured.
As planned, on July 16, the Ministry of Education and Training and localities will announce high school graduation exam scores and consider graduation recognition.

Will review Math exam
At the press conference, reporters asked, there are exam codes with very difficult questions. Does this go against the policy and purpose of the high school graduation exam, which is to consider graduation recognition? When will the Ministry of Education and Training announce the answers to the exam subjects?
Responding to this issue, Prof. Nguyen Ngoc Ha, Deputy Director of the Department of Quality Management (Ministry of Education and Training), said that this year's exam began to prioritize the assessment of students' abilities. The structure and format of this year's exam also changed. If students are familiar with it and have prepared thoroughly in their review, they will also feel this. However, the impact related to difficulty comes from other issues.
Professor Ha said that the difficulty of the exam is the point that the Exam Steering Committee directs and thoroughly grasps before the exam preparation takes place. Accordingly, this year's orientation has changed but not suddenly, including the difficulty of the exam. Before the exam preparation council worked, the Ministry of Education and Training organized a large-scale test of the exam in 3 regions. The purpose of the test is to see the level of response of students in order to adjust the difficulty of the exam.
"Regarding the information that some subjects such as Math and English have a more difficult level or are not equivalent to the sample test, we would like to take note and will consider and clarify this issue further," said Professor Nguyen Ngoc Ha.

Regarding the information about leaked exam questions, the Ministry of Education and Training was also asked to clarify. A reporter asked: "What plans does the Ministry of Education and Training have to deal with the fact that technology is increasingly developing and it only takes a short time for candidates to submit their questions online?"
Responding to information about whether or not the exam questions were leaked, Professor Huynh Van Chuong said that the National Steering Committee for the High School Graduation Exam has noted the use of high technology and artificial intelligence and localities have been thoroughly trained.
After the Math exam ended at 4pm on June 26, there was no information about the exam being leaked. However, on the evening of June 26, information about the exam being leaked before the exam was completed appeared on the Internet. The Exam Steering Committee received this information and immediately discussed it with the Internal Political Security Department (Ministry of Public Security) to find the source, verify, and strictly handle it.

Major General Tran Dinh Chung, Deputy Director of the Department of Internal Political Security (Ministry of Public Security), said that regarding negative information in the exam, after learning about it, the Department has conducted investigation and verification.
So far, 3 subjects using artificial intelligence (AI) applications have been identified at 2 examination councils. These candidates used their phones to take pictures of a part of the exam, then transferred it to the AI application to solve it. One of the candidates at the Lam Dong provincial examination council used a high-tech device, a camera attached to a sleeve button, to send the exam outside for someone else to solve.
“Up to now, these candidates have admitted their wrongdoings. In the near future, we will continue to consolidate the records, clarify further and base on the level, nature and consequences of the incident to handle it according to regulations,” said Mr. Chung.
However, Mr. Chung said that these were incidents that occurred in small groups of subjects and affirmed that during the exam period, there was no leaking, leaking or affecting the general psychology of society on the internet. Therefore, the actions of these candidates did not affect the safety and seriousness of the exam.
