High school graduation literature exam 2025 is current and suitable for the era of development

(Dan Tri) - The topic carries a traditional and sacred spirit but is very up-to-date with the context of the country's construction and development, especially in the "era of rising up".

Candidates can easily get 6-7 points

Teacher Do Thanh Thuy, head of the 12th grade literature subject at Lomonosov Secondary and High School (My Dinh, Hanoi) said that the literature exam for this year's high school graduation exam closely followed the sample exam structure of the Ministry of Education and Training .

The question types closely follow the cognitive level according to the illustrated matrix structure. The language materials in the test are outside the textbook, in line with the spirit of innovation of the literature subject in the 2018 GeneralEducation Program.

The material is an excerpt from a short story by writer Nguyen Minh Chau, about young soldiers in the war against America to save the country, relatively suitable for the level of reception of 12th grade students - who are also young people.

In the Reading Comprehension section, the questions at the recognition level do not pose any difficulties for students. However, questions 3 and 4 require students to have logical thinking, apply Vietnamese language knowledge, literary knowledge, and perceptive skills and life experiences to answer the questions.

These are good questions, good differentiation, and valuable in opening up students' thinking.

The fifth question in the Reading Comprehension section has a higher classification level, requiring students to have the ability to appreciate literature and life experience to present personal thoughts/feelings about a meaningful issue related to love and attachment of each individual to the lands they have visited, and more broadly, to the country.

This question is orienting for the dreams and ideals of young people.

"With this exam, I think the average score for literature this year is around 6.0 - 7.0 points.

"Excellent scores are for students with good skills and literary appreciation, which is very much in line with the innovative spirit of the 2018 General Education Program," said Ms. Thuy.

According to Dr. Trinh Thu Tuyet, a literature teacher at Luong The Vinh Secondary and High School, Hanoi , the biggest difference in the literature exam in the 2025 exam is that the materials for the reading comprehension and writing questions do not use texts from the three current textbooks.

This is the result of the innovation process of teaching and learning literature in high schools according to the 2018 General Education Program - when through reading comprehension texts in literature textbooks, teachers provide learners with knowledge of genres and Vietnamese, forming reading comprehension, appreciation, discussion, dialogue skills..., so that candidates can independently solve new problems of literature and life in the exam.

The official Literature exam closely followed the reference exam structure previously announced by the Ministry of Education and Training.

The content of the questions in the Reading and Writing sections of the exam are all within the scope of knowledge and skills according to the "Requirements to achieve" of the Literature subject - General Education Program 2018.

Update the historical context of the country

Evaluating the social argument on the topic "the sky of any homeland is the sky of the Fatherland", Ms. Trinh Thu Tuyet said that this is an issue with a traditional and sacred mindset but very up-to-date with the context of the country's construction and development, especially in the "era of rising up".

The issue is both familiar and practical, touching the sacred love of the homeland in the soul of every Vietnamese person, especially it can create excitement for students who are preparing to enter a new threshold of life, where they not only cultivate and promote their personal abilities and qualities, but also have to always remind themselves to keep their hearts warm with their homeland. The ideas of the essay will also be very suitable for the trend of innovation and integration of the times.

As the opening exam for the 2025 high school graduation exam, the first exam of the 2018 General Education Program, the literature exam has had fundamental changes in the direction of approaching students' abilities.

The exam ensures compliance with the regulations on the structure and format of the high school graduation exam from 2025 announced by the Ministry of Education and Training, closely following the " Requirements to achieve " on knowledge and skills in literature - General Education Program 2018.

From the structure of the test, the content of the materials to the ways of posing problems in the Reading and Writing sections, all show innovative efforts, bringing many interests, challenges and opportunities for candidates who are eager to learn, explore, have independent thinking and interpretation on issues in literature as well as social life.

"Of course, generations of teachers, students as well as society in general are still waiting for stronger steps in the journey of innovation, waiting for "Beautiful" literature exams, approaching students' abilities, contributing to forming the necessary abilities and qualities of future generations of Vietnamese people," said Ms. Trinh Thu Tuyet.

Also from this perspective, Ms. Thuy believes that in the social argument, the topic raises a central issue in current life, which is very suitable for the current historical and social context of the country.

In particular, the ideological values ​​that the topic aims for are similar to the country's major events in 2025, so students will feel close, familiar and have a lot of "land" to interpret.

The open format allows students to express their personal opinions and views independently, thereby contributing to forming in them love and responsibility for their homeland and country.

The differentiation of the topic lies in the skill of using arguments and evidence to highlight personal views on the topic. Students who are used to learning by rote, learning lopsidedly, learning by formula, and pay little attention to practical social issues will be confused when solving this topic.
