On the morning of June 20, Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son continued to answer questions at the 9th session of the 15th National Assembly.

At the meeting on the afternoon of June 19, National Assembly Delegate Do Thi Viet Ha ( Bac Giang ) raised a question related to the pressure on candidates when there are too many capacity assessment exams for university admission.

Ms. Viet Ha stated that according to Circular 06/2025/TT-BGDDT amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Regulations on university and college admissions for Preschool Education issued with Circular 08/2022/TT-BGDDT, schools can use many admission methods, including competency assessment tests.

According to Ms. Ha, voters have opinions that, besides the advantages, organizing many different competency assessment exams increases the pressure of exams. Candidates living far away have to travel, which is costly. At the same time, they have to review many different contents and types of questions, reducing the time to focus on the main study program.

From the above situation, the delegate asked the Minister what his opinion is on this matter and what solutions to overcome it in the coming time?

Responding in the question-and-answer session this morning, Minister Nguyen Kim Son said that one of the contents under the autonomy of universities is autonomy in enrollment and training.

Circular 08 of the Ministry of Education and Training allows educational institutions, if capable, to choose and organize their own entrance exams. The results of these exams can be shared with other educational institutions for use.

Currently, there are 5 educational institutions that have their own exams with different names such as capacity assessment, thinking assessment, with the number of candidates participating in about 10,000 candidates/session or more. However, the number of candidates using these results to apply for university admission is only about 3%. He assessed that this rate is not high.

Regarding the issue of pressure and travel costs, the Minister explained that this is actually a voluntary choice of candidates in addition to the results of the high school exam. This helps candidates increase their chances of entering universities.

The head of the education sector added that most of the current competency assessment exams are organized on computers, helping candidates receive results immediately.

“It can be said that this is a scientific test step in testing and evaluation, providing experience for innovation steps in graduation exams and university admissions in the coming years,” said the Minister.

Notably, the Minister informed that according to the plan, from 2027, the high school graduation exam will be piloted in places where conditions permit, and the exam will be conducted on computers.

“With that step, in the next few years, we aim for high unification in high school graduation exams and university admissions. High unification on the basis of a science of testing, evaluation and the application of information technology to facilitate and reduce pressure for learners in the coming time,” emphasized Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son.

Besides concerns about exam pressure, public opinion also raises many questions about the fairness and transparency of competency assessment exams organized by educational institutions themselves.

Recently, Dan Tri newspaper also had a series of articles revolving around the issues of loopholes in the "hundred billion" capacity assessment exam organized by Ho Chi Minh City National University. The largest capacity assessment exam in the country in 2025 had 152,792 candidates participating with 223,179 times taking the exam for both rounds (1 candidate can take the exam for both rounds).

In addition to the pressure on students, there are also shortcomings in the organization, test preparation, and handling of arising situations to ensure fairness and transparency in admissions. Thereby, public opinion also raises questions about the role of the Ministry of Education and Training in monitoring and post-checking the results of exams organized by schools themselves.
